Where Food Comes From, Inc. Acquires 'A Bee Organic' -- A Provider of National Organic Program (NOP) Certifications to a Wide Range of Sectors and Customers

CASTLE ROCK, CO--(Marketwired - May 31, 2017) - Where Food Comes From, Inc. (WFCF) (d.b.a. IMI Global, Inc.) (OTCQB: WFCF), the most trusted resource for independent, third-party verification of food production practices in North America, today announced it has acquired privately held A Bee Organic, a USDA Accredited Certification Agency. Details of the transaction, which include cash and stock, will be disclosed in SEC filings.

With offices and staff in California and Vermont, A Bee Organic provides more than 125 customers with National Organic Program (NOP) certifications for hydroponic, aquaponic, in-ground and wild crops, including avocados, blueberries, citrus and stone fruits, greens, and manzanita. Its hydroponic/aquaponic certification customers range from the U.S. to the United Arab Emirates. The Company also provides NOP certifications for livestock, including bees and chickens and their products, honey and eggs. NOP certification to beekeepers and processors in Eastern Europe and Indonesia facilitates their export of honey to the West. The Company also provides organic certification for various handlers, from coffee roasters and herbal blends to makers of organic body products such as hand creams, lotions and bug repellents.

"We are very pleased to welcome A Bee Organic and its team into the Where Food Comes From family of certification companies," said John Saunders chairman and CEO of WFCF. "The A Bee team is extremely passionate about their work and are recognized thought leaders in the hydroponic/aquaponics and apiary spaces. In addition, A Bee Organic helps us increase our customer base and expand our geographic footprint into new U.S., European, Middle Eastern and Asian markets. And as with our previous acquisitions, this transaction will facilitate new cross selling and service bundling opportunities to the benefit of WFCF and our customers."
