Maria Elena loves the fast pace of organic produce sale including the daily challenges of finding the balance of price and demand to sell our growers organic produce. “I am very conscious to provide the grower with a sustainable return. I like the daily communication I have with our growers.” In her spare time she enjoys hanging out with family & friends. Maria Elena says, “in my household there is always something to do: soccer games, gymnastics, going to the beach, gatherings & visiting family and friends. Never a dull moment in my house hold and I love it!” Maria Elena feels her greatest accomplishment with A&A Organic Farms is having a great connection with our small growers. Being bilingual & bi-cultural and having worked in the fields as child, gives her a greater understanding of the challenges farmers are faced with everyday. Maria Elena brings a wealth of experience with her to A&A Organic Farm. In 1996 she began working in the produce industry, starting with exporting, then working with fresh herbs for a large grower shipper. “I was blessed, having had the opportunity to spend seven year as a stay home mom”. Two years ago she joined the sales team at A & A and says, “she has a blast working at A&A Organic farms!”
