Job Description
Looking for meaningful employment? Do you want to spend your day knowing you’re making a positive impact? Are you a talented salesperson looking to put their skills toward a cause that really matters?
Farm Fresh To You, California’s leading CSA (Community Supported Agriculture service, where consumer purchase their produce directly from the farmers who grow it), is seeking Outside Sales Representatives to help us enrich communities throughout the state. Our mission is to empower a more transparent food system – one that supports local farming, encourages the benefits of farm to table living, and helps to ensure nutrition, sustainability, and economic stability throughout our region.
If you’re a skilled sales professional with a passion for supporting a more direct link between farmers and their neighbors, we need you!
WHO WE ARE: Capay Organic has been farming as nature intended since 1976. With the mission of making organic sustainable farming practices more universal – and the fruits and vegetables harvested more assessable – Farm Fresh To You was founded in 1992 as a delivery service that brings this produce directly to consumers homes. We practice a Beyond Organic philosophy that not only meets the requirements of USDA regulations and standards but exceeds them. We employ methods such as crop rotation, local water sourcing, encouraging a diverse ecosystem and responsible crop selection (to name a few); all to ensure that our harvests are both as nutritionally dense and environmentally sustainable as possible. We are also steadfast in our commitment to lead by example and promote equally sustainable economic practices that support a stable and provided-for workforce. After all, what is a farm – what is a business – without those who make it grow?
THE POSITION Our Direct Sales Representatives are the smiling faces of Farm Fresh To You. As Farm Ambassadors within communities, our mission is to encourage and promote a more transparent food system. We forge paths between farms and families – inspiring households, companies and peoples of all types to adopt new ways of thinking about where their food comes from, what it contains and how they purchase and receive it. We are not only selling our product – Farm Fresh To You’s delivery service – but educating the community on how beneficial it is to support your local farms, to safe-guard your nutrition with unpolluted foods and to empower environmentally-sound agriculture. All, through a service that celebrates convenience, customization and great-tasting foods.
