Jessica Zendell, Former Market Assistant
In December of 2017, this star of our team passed away unexpectedly. We miss her dearly and all the love and joy and laughter she brought to us for years.
Jessica ate vegan and loved exploring new foods and amazing tastes from our diverse south florida produce! She always was smiling and happy, no matter what the situation was that she was facing- rain up to her knees, sleepless nights or super long hot days of working.
