Supply-chain development and sourcing. Working with (mostly organic) ingredients from farm/packers around the globe - and connecting them with brands & retailers. At Smirk's, we import over 100 organic and conventional ingredients from suppliers from all over the world. From nuts, seeds, dried fruits, coconut products, flours, vanilla, oils, starches, to sweeteners. We inform our customers on global markets so they can make more effective and profitable purchasing decisions of raw materials. At Origin Vanilla, we work directly with smallholder vanilla farmers around the world and oversee the process from bean to bottle. Our products range from vanilla extracts, pastes, flavorings, specialty spices, to other gourmet flavorings for retail and foodservice. We've been featured as a social enterprise and have won a few grants and awards for our work in the vanilla space.
