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

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.

At IMA Nourish, we believe the postpartum phase is just as critical as pregnancy when it comes to a mother’s health and well-being. “IMA” comes from the Hebrew word for “mom,” symbolizing the care, love, and nourishment that are at the core of our mission. This meaningful word is also used in other cultures, such as Kapampangan (a Filipino dialect), to lovingly refer to mothers, reinforcing the universal connection to motherhood that inspires everything we do.

Motherhood is a beautiful, demanding journey. From feeding and caring for little ones to managing household responsibilities and trying to heal, moms are often left with little time to focus on themselves. This can make it easy to reach for quick, convenient options that aren’t always tailored to their unique postpartum needs.

In many cultures, postpartum care is treated with great reverence. Mothers are supported with warmth and intention—belly binding, nourishing broths, teas, and tinctures are integral to their recovery. Inspired by this global wisdom, IMA Nourish aims to bring the same level of care and seriousness to modern postpartum nutrition.

That’s why we use organic, natural ingredients, sourcing nutrient-dense elements like seeds, grains, and nuts to create our signature cake pops. Packed with ingredients traditionally used to support lactation, like flaxseed, brewer’s yeast, and oats,etc. each bite is intentionally crafted to help mothers recover, recharge, and feel nourished.

IMA Nourish isn’t just about providing a treat—it’s about honoring the postpartum journey, offering mothers a simple way to prioritize their health while caring for their little ones.

Because we believe moms deserve the same care and nourishment they give so selflessly every day.
