Community Highlights

OK 15 Member Company Humm Kombucha is, well, humming along at a scintillating pace.  They are now the official kombucha of the Seattle Seahawks, providing Humm the opportunity to reach a broader audience.  Also, Humm recently announced the signing of a joint venture with a business group from Stockholm, Sweden; the resulting partnership will be known as Humm Europe. Congratulations, Humm!
