We are a manufacturer and wholesaler of sustainable products that originate from the world's rainforests. We produce and distribute a range of natural food products that include; Rainforest Crunch gourmet buttercrunch (made popular by its use in Ben & Jerry's ice cream), Jungle Munch dried fruit and nut snacks and River Bank sauces, salsas, and dressings. These products are sold through Grocery, Museum, Specialty Gift, Gourmet and Natural Product retail outlets throughout the U.S. In addition to manufacturing and distributing our products, we have a deep-rooted belief in conserving rainforests and preserving indigenous cultures in rainforest countries around the world. By using rainforest ingredients in our products we demonstrate that sustainable economies can be developed in rainforest areas that are presently being destroyed by ranching, farming, and logging.
