Big Tree Farms is a pioneer of vertically integrated, ethical sourcing—transforming how the world experiences coconut sugar and clean-label sauces. Rooted in Bali and operating at origin, we’ve spent over two decades reimagining what a sustainable food company can be. Our direct partnerships with over 16,000 regenerative farmers across Indonesia are built on trust, reciprocity, and shared purpose—ensuring a supply chain that is transparent, resilient, and deeply rooted in place. At the heart of our model is the ancient wisdom of Indonesia’s indigenous farming communities, whose traditional food forests and time-honored practices have stewarded these ecosystems for generations. We don’t just source from origin—we honor it. By working with and alongside farmer cooperatives, we support farming systems that restore biodiversity, build soil health, and preserve cultural heritage, all while creating global market access for their regenerative harvests. We were one of the first to unlock the potential of coconut flower nectar, developing low-glycemic, unrefined alternatives to cane sugar that don’t just taste better—they perform better. Our proprietary vacuum evaporation technology ensures our coconut sugars bake, melt, and caramelize beautifully, offering a true 1:1 cane sugar swap with rich flavor and zero additives. In 2025, we unveiled a bold new look and flavor-forward portfolio designed to share the magic and madness of Bali with the world. Our reinvented Coco Aminos Marinades & Sauces and new Naughty Bali BBQ Sauce Trio bring the spirit of Balinese night markets to life in every bite—authentic, clean-label, and wildly flavorful. It’s a new frontier of global taste we call Bali Delicious. We proudly serve retail, foodservice, and B2B markets as a trusted ingredient partner and white-label supplier. Whether on shelf or behind the scenes, we deliver the consistency, story, and supply assurance that modern brands and consumers demand. As a Regenerative Organic Cert

Bhutan’s first 100% foreign direct investment enterprise, Mountain Hazelnuts (MH) capitalizes on an exceptional opportunity to grow hazelnuts for the international market as a mission-driven business that creates value for all stakeholders, including farmer partners, village communities, monasteries, nunneries, schools, the environment, the country, and the Company. MH partners with smallholder farmers and community organizations such as nunneries and monasteries in planting ten million hazelnut trees. MH cultivates hazelnut plants in the world’s largest hazelnut nursery, then distributes to thousands of grower partners, who manage orchards under MH’s technical guidance and sell the nuts to MH at a guaranteed price for processing and export. Hazelnuts are well-suited to Bhutan’s agro-climatic conditions, soils, and logistics - an ideal cash crop for the mountainous region. The MH business model supports household economics, community development, cultural preservation, and local ecosystems, while mitigating climate change. MH will more than double the income of participating households, which will include 15% of Bhutan’s population. The Company has 60 Bhutanese staff on its payroll and provides indirect employment for more than 1,200 other Bhutanese. Hazelnut trees provide numerous positive environmental impacts, including 1) stabilizing erosion-prone mountain slopes, thereby preserving soils, 2) rehabilitating habitats and watersheds, and 3) sequestering atmospheric carbon. Preliminary calculations estimate that the 10 million trees in MHs partner orchards could sequester approximately 8 million metric tons of carbon. Hazelnuts also produce a sustainable source of fuelwood, alleviating deforestation pressures and balancing energy needs. MH incorporates best practices in stakeholder engagement, scientific assessment, traceability, and impact measurement, aspiring to serve as an example of social and environmental impact entrepreneurship, done right.
