You’ve Heard of Speed Dating. Now There’s Weed Dating.

You’ve heard of speed dating, where you chat with a potential “mate” for, say, three minutes before you move on to the next person. Well, now there’s “weed dating.” No – it’s not about illegal drugs. It’s about meeting people while you – literally – pull weeds. According to USA Today, the concept was the brainchild of Jean and Wendy Palthey, a pair of married farmers in Tunbridge, Vermont. They point out that single farmers often have trouble meeting other singles because they don’t work a typical 9 to 5 schedule. It’s nice to be doing something constructive together while you get to know each other – instead of staring at each other across a restaurant table. So, they decided to help a single friend and a few local farmers by setting up “weed and meets.”

Participants pay $10, and wear a tag with their first name along with their favorite vegetable. “Ann Artichoke, meet Bill Broccoli.” The most recent “weed dating” session occurred in a field of corn and onions. Participants weeded a row with a potential romantic interest. Every seven minutes a bell rang, and everyone got up, shook muddy hands, and moved to a new row, and another partner. They asked the usual questions like, “Where’d you grow up?” and “What do you do for a living?” They discussed topics like gardening and farming, educating kids about where food comes from, and whether bartering is a better economic model than capitalism. At the end of the day, the field was freshly weeded, and the couples in question could see each other again – if they were both interested. There you have it – “weed dating.”
