Nutrition and Wellness Ambassador

Salary: $31,200-$88,200 Annually

Do you believe you are what you eat? Or, more so, do you believe you are what your food eats? We’re seeking nutrition advocates who understand that food is medicine!

Farm Fresh to You, an online farmer’s market and delivery system is seeking nutrition savvy sales professionals who are passionate about community enrichment. Our family-owned farm, Capay Organic, and their network of similar farms through the west, share a mission of providing streamlined access to healthy and sustainable foods for all communities. Through organic and sustainable produce delivery, we bring nature’s bounty straight to our customer’s door. Our website makes ordering and customization a snap – it’s the farmers market, delivered to your home.

 

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.

 

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.

 

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We are looking for individuals that are passionate about what we do! Our training is centered around creating a transference of energy that inspires customers to join our farm network. It is important that candidates can inspire through the art of communication and are a comfortable conversationalist.

 

Our busiest time of the year is from June until September which is known as our event season. Therefore, we are accepting applicants that are looking for short term employment for the summer months! It is important to note that this position is not limited to the short term and does offer upward mobility within the company or other related industries (sales, management, agriculture, marketing).

 

Ask yourself this:

• Am I passionate about revolutionizing the food system? Nutrition? Sustainability?
• Can I talk about it all day?
• Am I a comfortable conversationalist?
• Do I find inspiring others to be fulfilling?
• Am I challenge-driven and appreciate a job where the reward is tangibly linked to the effort I apply?
• Can I thrive in a team environment as equally as an independent one?
• Am I seeking to build upon my Direct Sales abilities?
• Am I looking for full-time employment?
• Is my answer to all or most of the above questions, “Yes!”?

Then we want to hear from you!

 

INTERESTED? Please submit your resume and a cover letter highlighting why you wish to join our cause and our team and we will be in touch shortly to set up an interview.
