Horizon Organic®, the nation's leading brand of certified organic milk, also offers a full line of refrigerated, certified organic products including organic yogurt, cheese and juice. Horizon Organic makes more than 130 products that are as nutritious as they are delicious because they are produced without the use of antibiotics, added growth hormones or dangerous pesticides.

We’ve been all-in organic believers since we started in 1991—as the very first organic dairy brand sold across the country. In fact, our founders played a crucial role in creating the USDA organic standards still followed today. True to our roots, our products are always organic, and we keep on pushing our practices forward, for the good of the horizon we all share.

Their dedication, expertise and plain old hard work go into every glass of milk. We build one-on-one relationships with every one of our over 500 farmer partners. Of course, our farmers take care of their cows, but they also do a whole lot more. And we’re here to support them every step of the way.

We are SWT
(PRONOUNCED AS SWEET)

We are an interdisciplinary team of sweetness fanatics, born from startups in Chile and Mexico. We are connected by a common passion; producing stevia leaves, extracts and sweet solutions which provide added functionality, reduced sugar, low calories and a great taste for our customers.

What did we do?
We realized that an excess of sugar is added into processed foods across the world.

We envisioned the need to reduce that sugar excess through a 100% natural approach, without affecting the taste of the products we love.

So we searched all over the globe and found a plant called Stevia Rebaudiana Bertoni, which produces family of sweet compounds we refer to as stevia extract.

What did we create?
The first organic stevia production process, which is 100% aqueous during all stages of extraction and purification.

We took on a challenge: Maintain the purity and the integrity of stevia from leaf to extract. We developed the first organic process for extracting and purifying this wonderful sweetener without the use of alcohol or enzymes. In fact, our stevia is 100% purified in water.

If you want to sweeten anything from a cup of tea to your morning coffee or cake, we can do it 100% naturally and with fewer calories.

Vision
We work to constantly improve our sweetness even further in quality and nutritional profile.

We aim to meet your every expectation, and to live by our mission statement: To do what we say on every label, with every drop of sweetness.

Mission
We want to deliver healthy sweetness solutions, which are natural and organic. These solutions are always high quality and low process, in accordance to our principles of honesty, consistency, sustainability and responsibility.

In 1973, Dr. Jordan Smith and Mr. Don Organ made the first agricultural application of a unique humate material from a mine in the Northwestern United States. This material, rich in organic acids, and minerals laid down over time in fresh water, when applied to farm soils improved soil conditions, increased the mineral content of plants and accelerated nutrient uptake.

Hummingbird Ranches is my families ranch name that we own our groves under, it is purely a farming operation owned by myself, my wife Megan and our kids, Raine, Amelia and Daisy. Our groves are:
Corona Ranch
Coronado Ranch
Sereno Ranch
C&H Ranch
Harris Armstrong Ranch
Rancho Del Fuego
And Hummingbird Ranch.

Honey Heaven was established in 1972 as a specialty honey shop in Eugene. The business was purchased by Eugene Scott in 1981 and he changed the business focus to wholesale after having trouble with employees eating the product inventory. In August of 2003, Charlie and Julie Tilt purchased the business from Eugene when he retired. We have grown in many ways since then, including selling a greater diversity of products. Consequently, we thought a name change that embodies our spirit would be appropriate. We chose the hummingbird because of its versatility -it flies in all directions- and its gentle nature- it sips the nectar of the flowers without harming the flowers. As of 2007, our name is Hummingbird Wholesale!

Hummingbird Wholesale remains a small, family owned and operated business focused on being a positive force for change in the food industry. Please see below the list of strategies we employ to meet our sustainable business goals.
