Our Story: From Vision to Vitality

During COVID we served our community with a farm to table "Farm Box" program so that our community could get "safe" produce. We quickly realized that access to sanitizers and disinfectants was extremely important to the food supply.

This realization became the foundation for D2 Sanitizers. We saw firsthand that protecting food supply infrastructure was critical not only for farmers but for everyone who relies on the food they produce

About D2 Sanitizers

At D2 Sanitizers, we believe in the power of clean—not just clean surfaces but clean practices, clean ingredients, and clean impact. As the sister company to Southland Organics, we bring the same passion for sustainability and purposeful innovation that has defined our work in agriculture to the world of sanitizers, disinfectants, and soaps.

COVID Striks

In January of 2020, before the full force of COVID-19 swept across the globe, we became a distributor, recognizing early on the critical role sanitation would play in the months ahead. Long before the hysteria hit, we understood that safeguarding industries like agriculture and food processing would be essential in maintaining the health and security of our communities.

As a sister company to Southland Organics, the alignment was clear. With our deep-rooted knowledge of sustainable agriculture and natural products, we were well-positioned to take action. When COVID-19 began to crush the world as we knew it, we didn’t hesitate to pivot. In the early days of the pandemic, we began providing “Farm Boxes” to our customers—essential supplies that helped farmers keep their operations running when supply chains were disrupted. It was during this time that we fully realized the broader importance of food security. It wasn’t just about the farms; it was about the entire food supply chain, from field to fork.

This realization became the foundation for D2 Sanitizers. We saw firsthand that protecting food supply infrastructure was critical not only for farmers but for everyone who relies on the food they produce. With that in mind, we expanded our product offerings to provide high-quality, natural sanitizing solutions that protect people and products alike. From farmers to food processors to those preparing meals in kitchens around the world, we understood that cleanliness and sanitation were more important than ever—and we were determined to lead the charge in providing those solutions.

D2 Sanitizers was born from this critical moment—a response to a global crisis, but with the foresight and commitment to continue serving industries that are the backbone of our food security system.

Why We Do It

We didn’t just jump into this space; we were called to it. At Southland Organics, our passion for sustainable agriculture, gardening, and waste management has always guided us. That same passion now fuels D2 Sanitizers. We understand that keeping the world’s food safe starts with the people, places, and processes that handle it every day. By creating natural, effective sanitizers and soaps, we’re working to bridge the gap between food safety and sustainability, ensuring that what’s clean stays clean—from farm to fork.
