I recently watched a short documentary about a Georgian businessman who drove a large van around the countryside trading miscellaneous chachkies he’d purchased in Tblisi for potatoes. I felt for sure this must have been a one-time stunt. No one would serious make a business out of trading goods for potatoes.
The next morning, i received an email from the Czech potato growers Farma Štemberk asking me to create a logo for them. They suggested I might want payment in potatoes. Well…how could I say no to potatoes?
