Born and raised in the Central Valley, Sage Brinkman has been immersed in agriculture her entire life. She serves as Sales and Procurement Representative at Rivermaid, managing domestic accounts while supporting fruit purchasing for The Gifting Company.

Sage holds a bachelor’s degree from UC Davis and brings hands-on experience across farming, sales, production, and operations within the cherry industry. Her background provides a practical understanding of the business from orchard to customer. Having worked in multiple roles throughout the industry, she offers a well-rounded perspective and the flexibility to step in wherever needed.

Sage believes that understanding the full process is essential to serving customers well. “When you understand the commodity from bloom to box, you can confidently give customers accurate information and make sure they are receiving the highest quality fruit for their program.”

Outside of work, Sage runs a family dog rescue and spends her free time camping and hunting with family and friends. Whether in the field or at her desk, she approaches each day with focus and a get-it-done mindset.
