Melanie

Before I founded SMNR, I worked for many years as a brand ambassador. I gave out samples of products to shoppers at grocery stores and educated people on the brands I was representing. I loved this work. It made me feel connected to our community in a special way. I loved to turn folks on to local and healthy products that I truly believed in and could stand behind the integrity of the way the products were made and the people that were producing them. I deeply enjoyed being instrumental to the growth of small and local businesses.

What really excites me the most, is getting the word about these amazing products out into the world! I help get healthy & local brands the attention and sales that they deserve until they are BIG enough to get picked up by a major Distributor such as UNFI, LoCO or Kehe. I currently represent 40 local brands and we have relationships with over 600 retail locations across the front range.
