According to a press release, lef Farms announced that it has added Mariana Robles to its management team as a production manager.
“We’re so excited to add Mariana Robles to our management team”, says lef founder Henry Huntington, per the release. “As a 2015 graduate from the University of Los Llanos Colombia, specializing in Agronomy, Mariana brings with her some fresh, out-of-the-box thinking that we can’t help but benefit from.”
Robles was initially hired in 2018 to work on the seedling line and, over time, took on more responsibility as food safety and cooler supervisor. As production manager, she will “be responsible for driving efficiencies, improving procedures and protocols, and increasing teamwork at the Farm.”
Earlier this summer, lef expanded its retail reach by adding Stop & Shop stories in New England to its portfolio.
