May 2013 Vine

Well this is our 3rd edition of The Vine Online and I hope you are enjoying the little bit of insight into our company. This newsletter is such an important communication tool for our many employees, but I am always amazed as I watch people leave our offices with backdated issues. That is a good thing and why we are committed to publishing these newsletters each month.

This month, I’m focussing on the “The Power of the Plate”, referencing the “CA GROWN” and “BC GROWN” license plate icons we put on our packaging to clearly let shoppers know where the product is grown.… Read more

By admin | Published: March 5, 2013

In early January, Casey’s daughter, Monica, along with Houweling’s team member Tara Tashiro, had the opportunity to visit Tactic, Guatemala, the site of Houweling’s Seeds of Tomorrow project. Their experience and the profound impact it had on them is shared below.
