Job Description

About Us:

Dam Good™ English Muffins, is a   women-owned, family-operated,   mission-driven   brand located in Peekskill, NY that makes four varieties of square shaped   sourdough English muffins!

Our brand name has a couple of different references:

2. We do Dam Good™ in our community and the world at large,

3. We make Dam Good™ English muffins!

Our company slogan,  ‘Every One Is Different’  has a double meaning in that not only is each of our English muffins different, but that we cherish the differences between us, and embrace the diversity among us — within our own workforce, and beyond.
