Founded
in 1987 to broker herbs, spices and dried florals for the growing number
of farmers and foragers, it was part of a Centralized Processing Facility
(USDA Grant Proposal 8600849) for botanicals. John I. Haas later purchased
the facility and expanded it near farm ventures in eastern Oregon.
NWB continues to broker numerous botanicals on an international basis. With partners and trade agreements in Canada several new ventures with a larger Centralized Processing Facility at the Port of Vancouver (B.C.) are now in planning for 1996. Contracts are available for some crops, including oil seeds and dried florals. A customer list of international buyers has been developed over the last 18 years who prefer to do business with Richard Miller (d.b.a. NWB) whenever possible. The list includes more than 2,000 buyers in North America, a number of whom are prepared to form a federation with Mr. Miller.
