| Julie, Warehouse Manager Our product would not make it onto the shelves with out Julie. Spending all day in a frozen warehouse, Julie coordinates all ingredients coming in and all products going out. It takes a impressive person to be able to put on snow pants in the middle of June and work in a freezer all day. We are grateful for her daily contributions to the company. |
