Organics is one of, if not THE, fastest growing retail food trends over the past decade. Organics represents the shifts in how consumers view their foods and food origins, and how farmers have listened to the marketplace.
Responding to double-digit growth in Organics, we recognized the need to connect all the parts to the organic food chain.
The Organic Produce Network (OPN) was founded in January, 2017, to connect facets of the organic produce community through education, information and live events.
We have an immediate opportunity for a Marketing and Trade Show Coordinator to join our team in beautiful Monterey, CA.
You will play a key role in a tight-knit team, with broad industry reach, from growers to retailers, and all points in between. You will only tap into the skills and experience you have today, but will learn, grow and be challenged in this dynamic, multi-faceted and supportive environment.

- A minimum of a bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, Public Relations or related professional field.
