Bio-Distributers sponsor the Agricultural Programme at Namwendwa Primary School. Bio-Distributors is a family business run by Ric and Jo Easton from their property near Sheffield, Tasmania, Australia. It was started by Ric and Jo in 1991 due to the inability to source organic food in their part of Tasmania and has been experiencing steady growth ever since, mainly due to the increasing awareness of the benefits of organic agriculture and of eating organic food. More recently the focus of the business has shifted towards ethical considerations including animal rights issues and the concept of fair trade.
