Specialty Crop Farm

HIBERNIA MISIONES was established in 1988 as an alcohol distillery and later transformed into what is now a fully equipped organic sugar mill. It is located in the village of Santa María de Fe, 225 kilometers south of Asunción, the capital of Paraguay. This is the area where the Jesuits began their evangelization in the 16th. century. They built protected reservations and missions to educate the indigenous people and showed them how to work the soil and raise cattle. Conservation of the environment is therefore a very high priority in the local community and HIBERNIA MISIONES plays an important and complimentary role in this regard, hence all of our products are 100% organic.

High Quality Organics is the leading, trusted provider of wholesale organic ingredients in North America. For decades, we have been supplying organic spices, herbs, teas, blends, grains, and more in bulk to food companies. All our products are certified organic and GMO-free. They are the best for you, your business, and the planet.

Homegrown Organic Farms is a sales agent for certified organic growers. We sell a full range of certified organic fruits including citrus, blueberries, stonefruit, fall fruit and grapes. We are the exclusive marketer of Organic SUMO Citrus. We provide private label packing.

At Homestead Farms, we work hard to select and grow the finest tasting organic vegetables you will find. Focusing on heirloom varieties allows us to grow vegetables with tremendous flavor. Heirloom varieties are chosen for flavor. Most times they are not found in the supermarket because they are not known for their ability to travel, thus, some items might be new to your tastebuds. The following is a list of vegetables slated for production in 2012. This is our plan. Mother Nature is also working on her plan for the growing season and sometimes our plans don't mesh. We do the best we can with what we know, but occasionally, Mother Nature gets the best of certain vegetables.

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.
