Born from a humble cup of tea, Teas Etc opened in August of 1998 and has grown with the evolution of tea in North America and beyond.

Beginning in a garage primarily selling at Farmers Markets, we grew our customer base through aggressive grass roots marketing, a lot of early mornings, many samples of tea, tons of education, and tremendous customer loyalty–for which we continue to be grateful.

Traveling to China in those early days helped form the commitment to origin authenticity and premium quality. That commitment to quality and supply chain transparency spawned the development of a network of farmers and purveyors beginning in China and later extending to other tea producing regions.

We continue to offer origin authentic specialty teas of premium quality, many of which are still processed by hand. This also allows us to better educate tea drinkers at home while honoring the skill and artistry of the craftsmen at origin.

As our awareness grew, so did the need to become more aligned with food safety standards, import best practices, and certifications such as USDA National Organic Program (NOP) achieved in 2007.

Texas Organic Cotton Marketing Cooperative (TOCMC) members produce the majority of the organic cotton grown in the United States. Most of these organic farmers are located in the South Plains region surrounding Lubbock, Texas, and are certified by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA).

The cooperative has approximately 40 producer members who plant 10-19,000 acres of organic and transitional cotton each year. In recent years, total annual production on these family farms has ranged from 6,000 to 15,000 bales. Since many of these farms have limited or no irrigation, yields are very rainfall dependent and vary significantly from year to year.

TOCMC members grow other organic crops including peanuts, wheat, corn, blue corn, milo, forage sorghum, soybeans, blackeye peas, and watermelons. Also, the cotton seed, which is separated from the cotton fiber in the ginning process, is marketed to organic dairies for feed.

The Texas Peanut Board was founded back in 1969 and is funded by voluntary checkoff money. The Peanut Producers Board is the oldest agricultural commodity board in the state of Texas. We have nine directors and three staff members who work to support and grow the Texas Peanut industry.

Textile Exchange is a global nonprofit organization that works to make the textile industry more sustainable. We work with everyone involved in making your textiles, including everything from clothes to sheets to towels and more. Together, we’re trying to help the textile world make better decisions so that we’re not only reducing harm to the environment but also bringing about positive change. We identify and share best practices regarding farming, materials and processing so we can reduce the impact on the world’s water, soil, air and human population.
Incorporated in 2002, Textile Exchange works closely with our members and textile industry stakeholders along the entire $1.7 trillion value cycle. TE is headquartered in the US with staff and ambassadors located in eleven countries.

Companies join Textile Exchange because they want to be more sustainable. That can mean they’re brand new to environmentally-conscious practices or they can be further along the sustainability process and want to take things to the next level.

Textile Exchange can provide an initial top-level sustainability assessment for a company in order to develop a long-term plan toward a more sustainable future. This work includes verifying steps of the supply chain in order to demonstrate how the material is sourced and/or grown, processed and manufactured. We work with companies to determine the best fibers and materials to use. We help companies formally trace the integrity of their materials and manufacturing processes so textiles can be properly labeled.

The Country Hen, located in Hubbardston, MA, supplies supermarkets across the United States with the first commercially produced Organic, Omega-3 enriched egg.

We mill all of our organic feed right here at the farm, exclusively for our hens. This proprietary feed formula produces a large egg with 300 mg of Omega-3s, including LNA, EPA, & DHA, as well as high amounts of Lutein and Choline. We truly understand that only the happiest and healthiest hens will produce the superior quality of our eggs, so we pamper our hens and let them roam freely through spacious, sunlit barns with outdoor porches attached.
