Mad Ag was founded to help shape the new agrarian culture. How can we live well on earth allowing humanity and ecological systems to flourish and support one another? Our mission is to help farmers and ranchers thrive ecologically and economically. We work on-the-ground with producers to create Regenerative Farm Plans. We don’t shy away from dreaming big about the ecological, social and economic potential of regenerative farming. We are healing landscapes that have been mismanaged and need love, care and stewardship. Mad Agriculture wholly inspired by the Mad Farmer poems of Wendell Berry Mad Farmer, which calls humanity to a radical recreation of good economy and agriculture rooted in the indivisible health of the land and people.

Founded in 2000, SAMBAZON, an acronym for Sustainable Management of the Brazilian Amazon, was the first company to introduce “certified Açaí” to the world, supplying organic and Fair Trade certified Açaí products from a proprietary supply chain to ensure transparency from the “palm of the tree to the palm of your hand.” SAMBAZON recently launched Seeding Change, a documentary highlighting mission-driven brands operating on triple-bottom-line business models and using commerce as a vehicle to create a more prosperous future for the people and the planet, similarly to how SAMBAZON uses the Delicious Powers of Açaí. All SAMBAZON products, including Smoothie Packs, Ready to Eat Açaí Bowls, Juices, Energy drinks and Açaí Bites are made from USDA Organic, Non-GMO, vegan, and Fair For Life Fair Trade Certified Açaí. SAMBAZON’s Fair Trade certification has helped to protect the Amazon Rainforest and its rich biodiversity and has helped to positively impact thousands of local growers. With the commitment to invest a percentage of local Açaí purchases back into the community, SAMBAZON has contributed over $1 million to build build healthcare centers, community centers and schools.
