Alle Weil, Marketing Director

Alle is a Holistic Health Practitioner and Nutritionist with a seasoned background in Creative Development. She has worked exclusively in the wellness industry in Marketing, Editorial, Product, and Creative development. Her journey with many of the same debilitating symptoms that our customers experience gives her a unique perspective and passion to support the Desert Harvest mission. She says, “Working for Desert Harvest has allowed me to see my own journey with health, for the first time, as a superpower. This has strengthened my guidance and advocacy for an underrepresented group within the already under-researched, broader Women’s Health.”

When she’s not working, Alle enjoys spending as much time as she can in nature, hiking and gardening, with her partner and fur baby.

Shelby Florio, Sales Specialist

Born and raised in North Carolina, Shelby started working part-time at Desert Harvest in 2016 while in high school. After attending college, she came back to Desert Harvest full-time because she enjoyed working in a place where she felt she was helping people. Eventually, Shelby and Anthony started dating so when the Florio’s decided to move DH to Maine, it was a no-brainer for her to make the transition.

While it was a huge move, she fell in love with the state of Maine and the scenery there. Her favorite thing about her job position is knowing that she is spreading the word about a great company with amazing products that were all created to help a severely underserved part of the community. Shelby spends her free time with Anthony, her husband, and their two pups, Xander and Athena.

She loves meeting new people, sharing experiences, and helping everyone in any way she can! If Kaitlyne is not at the office you can find her collecting shells and sea glass at the beach, trying new recipes in the kitchen (especially baked goods!), hiking with her two dogs, curled up with a good book, or chasing sunsets with her camera.

Dan Florio, Shipping Specialist

Dan is the newest Florio family member to call Desert Harvest his home away from home. A life-long resident of Vermont and master of shipping, Dan moved to ME in 2021 to put his skills to use. He manages all of the orders to get our customers the products they need to help improve their quality of life and takes this responsibility very seriously, packing each order with the care and attention he would want someone to give his own.

Outside the office, you can find him at car shows as he has a large passion for anything with wheels, working on his YouTube channel, or hanging out with his daughter.

“It’s more fun to drive a slow car fast, than to drive a fast car slow.” – Unknown

Mackenzie Myers, Customer Service Specialist

Say hello to Mackenzie, one of the newest members of the Desert Harvest crew. Hailing from Ellsworth, Maine, she started as a bartender until a bun in the oven changed her course. How did she end up with the gang? Her parents had the intel and connected her with the Florios when they moved DH to town.

When Mackenzie’s not busy crushing it at work, she’s wrangling her toddler, Weston, along with her furry posse Bandit, Brandi, and Willow. They’re always looking for outdoor fun to let out all that crazy kiddo energy!

“Trust your struggle.”
