Working from Home

Oregon's Wild Harvest is always seeking additional opportunities for minimizing the company's carbon footprint by maximizing energy efficiency and reducing waste. Our founders also believe that the company's success has been due in large part to good hiring, and in keeping those productive staff members focused on their work. One way OWH has accomplished both goals - being green, and being a company people want to work for - is by offering employees in certain positions the option to work from home.

For Research and Development Director, Joanne Roberts, there's no greener commute than NO commute, and that's just what she enjoys, more than 80% of her work week.

When National Sales Manager Mike Goeman is not on the road visiting stores, he can be found working from his home office, servicing his accounts, and following up on the needs of retail stores.

Sales and Marketing Manager Valery McBride is able to be home during the day with her two small children, while working evening and early morning hours creating budgets, spreadsheets, and website content, among other duties.

Marketing writer and coordinator Kellie Gordon has a whopping seven-second commute, from her bedroom down the hall to her home office, where she sits at her computer, describing the various products Oregon's Wild Harvest creates, and seeking new PR opportunities.

More and more progressive companies are offering their employees the choice to work from home, which many workers are finding makes them not only more flexible in the roles they - successfully juggle, but also more productive in the amount of work they can accomplish. Oregon's Wild Harvest is proud to be among these companies, and in the process help to reduce gasoline used, carbon emitted, and take-out lunch containers tossed on a daily basis.

Here's to working from home!
