Not deterred, however, Bush Brothers cans one of the leading US brands of baked beans, Bush's Best, which is made from a family recipe and first sold in 1969. The company also cans variety beans (black, garbanzos, pintos, refried), chili, greens, and hominy, all of which are sold in retail food outlets and to foodservice operators across the US.

In 1971, our parents were a young couple and received the news of a lifetime. Unlike the joy brought by babies and weddings, their happy news came in the form of a visa to the United States. Within one month they arrived – one young couple with three small children and a fourth on the way, with one suitcase each in hand and a great deal of faith. By 1973, our Father was busy working hard to provide for his family. By happenstance, he saw the opportunity to create a product that he was closely acquainted with, but was not yet available in the Los Angeles marketplace – high quality fresh cheese, also known as, queso fresco. After several late night kitchen table discussions, our parents decided to take a gigantic leap of faith with their hard-earned savings of $1,500 and began the journey of a lifetime. In 1973, they founded our company and named it Cacique. In Latin America, the name represents the chief of a tribe, the ultimate authority, the very best, and the pinnacle of experience. During those early years, Dad taught Mom how to make cheese and he sold and delivered the fruits of their labor with us pitching in after school and in summer. Our first year was hard but well worth it and soon we hired our first employees and the dream began to take root.

AVANI Oxygen Water Corporation, of Vancouver, Canada, was formed for the purpose of propagating the Company's technology of producing supercharged oxygenated water that is remarkably smooth, incredible taste and extremely pure. AVANI's exclusive seven stages oxygen PURIFICATION PROCESS is the ONLY process currently that duplicates the natural cycle of rain water purification. The ONLY extra ingredient added is the vital OXYGEN! AVANI's water is richer in oxygen content than ordinary tap water of Vancouver, Canada, which is already rich in oxygen content. AVANI's technology re-energizes water like it was millions of years ago, when the oxygen content in the atmosphere and in the water was extremely high. The incredibly lush growth of the plants and the enormous size of the animals on our planet at that time attested to the very high life force of the oxygen rich water. Paleontologists (people who study dinosaurs) have estimated that a big dinosaur would only live a few days in our atmosphere before it would die of oxygen starvation. This is true because our present atmosphere and water now contains low levels of oxygen. There was also no pollution to contaminate the water. AVANI's supercharged oxygenated water, with its high content of dissolved oxygen, is the closest thing there is to water of prehistoric time: a water that had a very high content of life giving oxygen.
