From Mimi’s Mountain Home is hiring!

Brandon of From Mimi’s Mountain Home is looking to hire someone for a commission based sales position. If you or anyone you know is interested please contact them directly. Information about the company and position is below.

From Mimi’s Mountain Home
A little about us:
We are a small company producing all natural household cleaning supplies, body care products, and more. All of our products are handmade in Alpharetta, GA using recipes handed down through generations. All products are 100% natural with no “derived ingredients”. Currently we are only sold in farmers’ markets, a few online co-ops, and online. Production amounts are limited at this time, but we plan to expand as orders are placed.

What we need!
Since making everything by hand takes up a lot of time, we are looking for someone who FULLY understands what being green and natural is all about! You must have experience with placing products in stores, sales, or direct to customer marketing (Avon, Mary Kay, Amway), and follow our beliefs to your best ability about being green and natural!

This position will be commission based. Since orders will be smaller ($500-$1000 estimated), we will provide for each new store 25% commission on the first order placed, and 15% on the second and third orders placed by the same store, and 10% thereafter for maintaining the account.

You will need to commit one-two days to come and spend with us making some products, so that you can fully understand and describe what is going into them and to better understand our philosophy. Products will be provided for you to try, test, and provide feedback on, and also give to store owners/buyers. As a benefit of this job, you will also be allowed to sell products to family/friends with about 50-75% profit.

Questions and Resumes may be sent to follettbrandon@aol.com

We will hold interviews the week of August 12. After receiving your resume, we will be contacting you regarding our interest level and whether we feel that you would be a good fit for us. Even if we feel that you may not be the best fit, we will still contact you and let you know what our thoughts are.

Pour Caps for Mason Jars are back- 2 sizes!

Back by popular demand, Pour Caps are back on the market. I’ve placed an order today with reCap for more mason jar pour caps. I ordered wide mouth for half gallon jars and standard mouth that fits most quart and pint jars. It takes about 4 to 5 days for shipping so I’m hoping they will be in for this week’s pick up. If not, they will definitely be available to pick up the following week.

Blueberries and Blackberries will be gone soon!

There is probably only 1 more week until blueberry and blackberry season will end. Now is a great time to stock up on this year’s harvest. Blueberries and blackberries can be frozen and stored easily. How wonderful it will be to reach into your freezer during the cold winter months and enjoy summer berries! Get them before they are gone! My Daily Bread will have them listed on the market tomorrow morning.

The market will open up tomorrow morning (Friday) for ordering and close at 5pm on Sunday.

We thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible!
