Loxahatachee, FL – As J&J Family of Farms continues to expand into the western region of the U.S., they have recently hired Mari Danielson who will serve as their Western Sales Manager.
Danielson, who was previously the Senior Sales Executive for Sunfed, brings a wide range of produce experience to this new position. “This is a great opportunity to be able to sell and market all varieties of high-quality produce from a well-established company with a diversified customer base. I am very excited to grow my career with the ‘Family of Farms’ that J&J represents,” said Danielson.
Starting her career in the Phoenix wholesale market, Danielson developed hands-on product knowledge of all aspects of the wholesale segment. After moving to Colorado, she was hired as a retail specialist for CH Robinson working in procurement, sales, merchandising, representation and transportation.
Building on her produce expertise, Danielson opened a logistics and produce company based in Colorado, which provided her with the additional skills and experience in management and administration. In 2006 she re-located to the Nogales area where she was offered the opportunity to expand sales for SunFed.
“With our continued growth in the western region, J&J has now become a national supplier and this has created new opportunities for us to enlarge our sales force and operations,” remarked Brian Rayfield, VP of Business Development for J&J. “Mari’s produce knowledge combined with her retail and foodservice experience will be an asset to our team.”
Established in 1983, J&J Family of Farms specializes in growing cucumbers, bell peppers, squash, tomatoes and eggplant. J&J manages over 3,000 acres of production from their own farms and partners, and has operations in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Texas, Arizona, Mexico and the Dominican Republic.
