Thx! is our brand of social impact fruits and vegetables. We want to be the TOMS of produce! A brand that stands for great products, from socially responsible sources, and that connects consumers with farm workers' dreams. We make those dreams, like fixing their house, building a bathroom, connecting to electricity or sewer, etc. come true. Our label has a picture of the person a shopper's purchase is benefitting and a QR code that connects to a video where the worker talks about her or his dream. This allows the shopper to build a very personal relationship with the farm worker and with the retailer selling the product. Now shoppers can learn about where and from who their product is coming from and also where their money is going to.
