Run the weekly verified-provenance delivery route to Bishop Arts District kitchens.
Fund it for $260. Proof lands onchain when it's done.
$260 proposed
This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee.
What the work involvesOnce one kitchen's provenance-verified delivery is proven, a standing weekly route across several Bishop Arts District kitchens turns a one-off into real recurring local-sourcing volume.
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- camera
- instant-read / infrared thermometer (chain-of-custody temperature checks)
- insulated transport totes / cold chain appropriate to the ingredient
- tablet/clipboard with the sourcing spec + receipt-grading sheet
- GPS-capable phone (source, transit, and delivery waypoints)
Steps
- 1. Write the sourcing spec WITH the receiving kitchen (community kitchen, school, pantry fresh-program, or institution): the ingredient, the standard it must meet (peak-season, named source, variety, harvest window, condition at receipt), the quantity, and the delivery window. The spec is the claim being provisioned, real food at a named standard, delivered.
- 2. Verify at the source in person: photograph the farm/boat/producer, record the grower/captain/maker's name, the harvest/landing date, the variety/breed/catch, and the growing/handling practice; confirm the lot you will transport is the lot you inspected.
- 3. Grade the ingredient at pickup against the spec's Michelin-grade criteria, freshness indicators appropriate to the ingredient (eyes/gills/firmness for fish, turgor/aroma for produce, date and handling for dairy/grain), seasonality honesty, and variety specificity; reject-or-accept against the spec, recording the call.
- 4. Hold the chain of custody in transit: record time out of source cold storage, transport method + temperature checks at pickup and delivery (cold chain ≤4°C / frozen ≤-18°C where applicable, per the receiving kitchen's spec), GPS waypoints source → kitchen.
- 5. Deliver into the kitchen's receiving process: the kitchen's manager (or certified food-protection manager) inspects, temperature-checks, and accepts/rejects; record their acceptance, receipt grading, and what the kitchen will make with it.
- 6. Package the provenance record: source identity + harvest date + practice, grading at pickup and receipt, the custody log, and photos at all three points; sign. Real (a named source, a real delivery), Proven (photo+GPS+temperature log+kitchen acceptance signature), One-of-one (this lot, this kitchen, these meals).
What counts as done
- Route manifest naming each kitchen stop and its order
- Per-stop chain-of-custody log (time/temperature)
- Kitchen receiving-manager receipt/confirmation photo per stop
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
The standard this serves
Michelin Craft, Ingredient Provenance. Provenance means knowing exactly where food comes from: which field, which boat, which week. The best kitchens can name the farm behind every plate, and the Michelin Guide notices when they can. Wine people have a word for what this protects, terroir, the taste of one particular place. Mastery means growers you know by name and records you can stand behind. It starts with a single honest entry: this crop, this plot, this date, these hands. A packet like this one writes that first line of the ledger.
What is promised, and what is not.
Funding this work is a purchase or a vote, same act: you either want this done here, or you want the world to contain it. A vote is free and signed; funding starts at one cent and anything beyond the wage is recorded as a premium for the worker. Either way the money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1787186392917_8e5hx8k","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.
Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.
Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
