PLANTS ARE OUR WORLD

Plants rule the world – from farms to families to sustainability. The beauty of the plant world is that nurtures us with color and nourishes taste. Seeds replenish our world and symbolize the ability of all things to grow again, rejuvenating over and over. Seeds are the heart of nourishment—and growing up green, they are protecting our planet through enriching our air with CO2.
We celebrate local farms, from the north in Canada crossing to the United States, and farther south to Latin America and South America; we’re making our products through the generosity of a wonderful continent, brimming with diverse cultures. We are grateful to the the hard-working people who cultivate our plants. In supervising all of our products and their production, I get back to my roots, deep in the earth. I see all the smiling faces of my farmers, my teams and customers through the filter of the water, soil and sunlight. ~Diane Wright Hoffpauer 2021
