She has already implemented this by having vendors list the ingredients found in their products and specify if they are genetically modified or not. Mother’s Market’s key line of business is to provide a diverse food and supplement line that meets customers’ needs for specialized diets and health problems. They do this within the different departments; which include produce, supplements, body care, grocery, diary, a juice bar, a deli, and a restaurant. Finding a company that has such a great leader, mission, and commitment is what drives Jen to do and enjoy her job all these years. If you don’t feel like your job has a good purpose or helps give back, then you won’t be happy doing what you are doing with most of your time. The one thing we took away from meeting with Jen is that she is in a place where her job makes her feel like she is doing something positive for her life. The company is well involved with the community, getting them specified product lines, and trying to get rid of GMOs all at once. We all hope to one day find a job that gives us this same sense of fulfillment with our lives
