Roots of Peace, a Bay Area nonprofit working in Vietnam helping farmers improve their crops, has sold its first crop of black pepper from those farmers to one of the top spice companies in the country.
“This is a historic moment for roots of peace, and Morton and Bassett to have a world class spice company, purchasing fresh pepper from the former battlefields of Vietnam, 40 years after the war has ended,” said Roots of Peace founder Heidi Kuhn.
