Monfefo is hiring!

Summary
Monfefo is growing! In the last year, we have opened a state of the art production facility in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and expanded sales down the Mid-Atlantic, through the Northeast to Maine, into every Whole Foods in the tri-state area and to California and Texas as well. We’ve tripled our business and are looking for a sales manager to lead our sales efforts nationally and build & manage a team to support Monfefo’s ongoing success.

About
Monfefo began in 2013 in a kitchen in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY. 5 years later, out of a new facility in Brooklyn, we are a small, passionate team that manufactures the best tasting, highest quality organic ginger and turmeric shots on the market. We hand-make in small batches daily, fresh cold-pressed organic root juice blended with citrus juice and honey, in which we bottle and then ship out to stores. Every batch is made with integrity and passion ensuring that we produce an excellent product everyday. Our drinks have no additives, preservatives or things you can’t pronounce. It is simply the root, fruit and nectar. Learn more at www.monfefo.com.
