    Description

    Regenerative Activist – Food as Medicine – Sustainability Focused – Change the Food System

    Are you ready to build a career with purpose—while earning at a high level?

    Do you believe that food is medicine?

    That local, organic agriculture is the foundation of a healthier future?

    That real growth—personally and professionally—happens outside your comfort zone?

    If so, this role is designed for you.

    About the Organization

    Farm Fresh To You, powered by Capay Organic, is a family-owned, certified organic farm operating since 1976 and delivering farm-to-door since 1992. We are a pioneer in the organic industry, no one comes close, it hasn’t been easy. We don’t brag about it, because we are so busy engaged in the hard work of being the farm, labor intensive certified organic family farming, endeavoring the logistical challenges of delivering a highly-perishable product to people’s homes fresher than anywhere else they can get it.

    We are not a startup.

    We are not a trend.

    We are a vertically integrated farm system redefining how communities access food.

    Our model connects households directly to organic farms—cutting out inefficiencies, reducing waste, and delivering produce that is significantly fresher than traditional retail supply chains.

    We engage in real life conversations with real people - this job is not in the fields, it is in the communities, connecting them to the farms that feed them, organically, this is NOT possible to be done online through digital means, nor through influencers nor databases, there are no shortcuts here this is civic engagement.

    What This Role Is

    It is community-based outreach and education. To change the food system and save local family certified organic farms we need to stay in business. We also help 60-150 other certified organic family farms stay in business, who without our program may not survive.

    You will engage people directly—at events, in neighborhoods, and in public spaces—helping them understand:

    • Why most grocery store produce is already 4 days older that having our farms deliver it direct to community residential homes
    • How supporting local farms does not increase their grocery spend
    • Why food quality directly impacts long-term health outcomes

    Your role is to educate, align, and enroll—not pressure.

    We need people throughout the Bay Area, you can reside in: San Jose, Santa Cruz, Oakland, San Francisco, San Mateo, Livermore, Modesto, Walnut Creek, Santa Rosa, Marin, Berkeley, Milpitas, Mountain View to connect communities in those areas.

    Core Responsibilities

    You will be trained to operate across four primary environments:

    • Community Outreach – Direct engagement in neighborhoods
    • Vendor Events – Farmers markets, festivals, and curated events
    • Tabling – Set locations with structured conversations
    • Street Canvassing – High-volume, high-skill interaction environments

    Your development will focus on:

    • Structured communication and rapport-building
    • Active listening and needs alignment
    • Consistent execution of a proven process
    • Weekly performance targets (modest, scalable, and trackable)

    Who You Are

    This role selects for mindset and behavioral traits, not just experience.

    You are:

    • Self-motivated and disciplined
    • Coachable and open to feedback
    • Comfortable being uncomfortable in pursuit of growth
    • Resilient in the face of rejection and repetition
    • Committed to finishing what you start

    You understand:

    Growth occurs at the outer edge of your comfort zone.

    • You will be held accountable

    But if you stay consistent:
