What I like about my job and Sunridge Nurseries Inc.
I am in the vineyards everyday. Not only am I outside, but I am learning about the vines every month of there life. I enjoy learning about each site our vines grow on. I also enjoy that our customer’s goals are to create the best wine possible. They recognize that the vines are one of the most critical parts of the equation. I enjoy working for Sunridge Nurseries Inc. primarily because of the Stoller family. I appreciate the fact that we are a family company, I appreciate that the family has in place a management team that places an emphasis on producing the best vines possible. I appreciate that our company insist on cleanliness and is the cutting edge on cleanliness. I appreciate that our employees take pride in their jobs and want to treat the customers correctly.
