A Short Story

----------

Thumb Organic LLC evolved from an original idea
of opening a food and beverage shop specializing
in moderately priced, high quality products.
And then at the last possible moment the process
was ended due to problems with the water supply.
So it was time to rethink and reshuffle which
brought us to distributing rather than retailing.

As a result, we changed our focus from retailing the products of others to sourcing and distributing our own products. The change to Organic products was the inevitable result of our search for high quality.
The end result: We now source and distribute a growing list of certified organic honey and tea products as well as certain local honey's that meet our customers quality standards.

Consumers Deserve Better Food:

In this prepackaged, salted, sweetened, hydrogenated world, health has become secondary
to convenience. Consumers need to fundamentally question how they approach food and nutrition. Convenience is a poor substitute for healthy
lifestyle choices.

Americans have the cheapest food in the world. Unfortunately you get what you pay for. If you look
at the overall variety of this cheap food you will
note a serious lack of diversity in agricultural crop production which is positively frightening.

The current business model of intensive monoculture farming and reliance on a very few varietal strains
is an ecological disaster that is happening as you
read these words. Intensive monoculture mega-
farms are not the answer. The rise and spread of global diseases that are disproportianately
damaging to our current intensive agribusiness farming practices by the shear lack of available alternatives should be a wake up call. When considering biodiversity and resource management
in farming production, our eggs are literally all
in one basket. Current farming methods are solely based on business models which demand
consistency and scale to succeed. These business models are not necessarily consistent with good farming practices since they place undue emphasis
on biological similarity. The biological pool for our agricultural products is getting smaller not larger.

When our leaders reward monolithic corporations, presented and packaged as "farmers", for
behavior that is inconsistent with long term stewardship, you end up with our broken system.
We have earned this looming food crisis by disregarding the near and long term consequences
of trying to shape nature to our needs rather than working in concert with nature. In our desire to always get the most for the least we may end up
with very little. Modern agrigultural practices primarily related to lack of biodiversity leverages
our reliance on the remaining few varietals.
Under this leverage, the consequences of crop
failure is far greater than necessary.
