Humboldt Cider Company Sales Representative
Background
Humboldt Cider Company is a family owned and operated business founded in 2014. We have been growing steadily each year since our humble beginnings in a Eureka garage. Since then, we have expanded to include two Humboldt County taprooms and a new warehouse that will enable us to expand throughout the state of California. We pride ourselves on using high quality ingredients and supporting local nonprofit organizations.
Humboldt ciders are made using real fruit from Northern California and the Pacific Northwest. We ferment our ciders using wine yeasts and blend them to appeal to a wide range of palettes. Humboldt ciders are well-balanced and refreshingly crisp. Our commitment to quality has built a strong brand presence in Northern California and we are seeking to hire someone who will continue to help grow our brand.
