OTA Members

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.

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. George Bass started the farm in 1988, with a goal of using the highest quality organic commodities to produce the world’s best 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.

Corn became the dominant cash crop in our region and we began providing feed concentrates specially formulated for various types of livestock. We also added corn drying facilities, soybean facilities and more recently, vegetable and specialty Identity Preserved crop programs to our business.

Sisters Jordan Catapano and Jocelyn Dunn, co-owners of This Girl Walks into a Bar: Mixers + Snacks, bring you beverage mixers (bar snacks coming soon!), created to complete and enhance your bar setup. Set against the backdrop of California outdoor entertaining and dining, their products use fresh, certified-organic ingredients, that are low sugar and taste homemade.

Southern California natives Jordan and Jocelyn were in business together by the ages of 8 and 10. They worked through conflicts in their sandbox and developed business strategies in the backseat of their family’s yellow station wagon on cross-country road trips. Their “grown-up” collaboration combines Jordan’s extensive bartending and mixology experience with Jocelyn’s professional art direction and graphic design skills. This creative synergy produced a popular blog, three published books, and the bartender staffing company This Girl Walks into a Bar: Bartending.

In 2021, these busy moms and entrepreneurs launched their mixer line. Their first flavor, a deliciously tart Margarita Mix, entered the market in 2022 with a small production run. In December of 2024, they added a spicy Bloody Mary and a fresh Pineapple Mint Mojito Mix to the collection. Their mission is to create high-quality, non-alcoholic, and responsibly sourced organic mixers for any age and every lifestyle.

On January 8th of 2025, Jordan and her family lost her home and a portion of the company’s mixers and equipment in the Palisades Fire. Fortunately most of their bottles were safely stored 55 miles away in a warehouse east of Los Angeles. There has been a tremendous outpouring of love and support from people everywhere, and the sisters are more devoted than ever to their family-owned business.

We work daily to raise the bar on quality of life by creating sustainable systems at home and at origin. Our commitment to smallholder coffee farmers and our sourcing principles are rooted in dignity and solidarity. SInce 2012, Thread Coffee has worked to elevate farmers and empower women at origin and in Baltimore.

Thread Coffee formed in 2012 among friends who wanted to come up with a way to stand in solidarity with different social movements around the world. Our first relationship coffee was with the autonomous Zapatista coffee community in Chiapas, Mexico. Years later, we continue to purchase coffee from those same farmers, and have added more direct trade coffees to our offerings. We stand in solidarity with women and indigenous smallholder farmers around the world.

In 2014, we partnered with Baltimore collective Red Emma’s and became the in-house coffee roaster for their popular vegan restaurant/cafe and bookstore. Between 2014-2017, we grew our wholesale coffee business and continued to grow our commitments to our farmer partners. We expanded our services to include cafe build outs and partnered with Johns Hopkins University and Bon Appetit food service to provide fair trade organic coffee in their university local Real Food campaign.

In 2017, we moved into our new and larger roastery in the mixed-use makerspace in Open Works in Baltimore’s Greenmount West neighborhood. In 2019, we released our first ready-to-drink beverage, our nitro cold brew canned coffee.
