Cindy Adkins

Director of Sales

I’m a fourth generation, farm-raised girl who is not surprised at all that I chose a career in produce. I truly believe that my ability to work collaboratively with other Farm Fresh Direct departments as well as with outside partnerships and vendors, has helped me find success here as Director of Sales. Since starting at FFD, I’ve had the amazing opportunity to work with a team dedicated to rebrand the company to better express the next generation of growers and their vision.


WHAT WOULD OTHERS FIND INTERESTING ABOUT YOU?

I was the Colorado State Champion in the 100-meter dash and at one time held a Master Diver certificate.

WHAT DID YOU STUDY AT COLLEGE?

My dad said, “I can’t believe I paid for 4 years of college for you to get a B.S. in Psychology. I actually use these skills every day.

IDEAL “DAY OFF” ACTIVITY?

Believe it or not, but cleaning my house. I find this very cathartic.

WHO ARE YOUR HEREOS IN REAL LIFE?

My wife. I’m always amazed by her resilience, happiness and intelligence.

WEIRDEST JOB?

Worked for an answering service in AZ. Two most memorable customers – an air-conditioning company and a psychologist office. We avoided the air-conditioning company like the plague in AZ but kill ourselves to get the phone for the psychologist. Some interesting messages came in for sure.

GO-TO-BEVERAGE OFF HOURS?

A vodka martini, straight up wih two olives. Probably because I watched my grandfather for many years reach in his pocket and pull out note cards he printed out with his recipe for a Gin Martini.
