Nature's Path acquires organic flour producer

Nature’s Path has acquired a majority stake in Anita’s Organic Mill—a B.C.-based producer of organic flours and baking products.

Anita’s Organic Mill will retain its branding as it joins the Nature's Path family of brands including Love Crunch, EnviroKidz and Que Pasa.

In a press release, general manager Arjan Stephens said the company had been a customer of Anita’s Organic Mill since 2015 and has used its flours for its top-selling products including Heritage Flakes and Flax Plus cereals.

"Throughout our relationship, we have been continuously impressed by the quality of Anita's flour as well as the company's passionate commitment to always being organic," said Stephens.

Anita's sources organic grain from farmers across Canada, which is then stone-milled onsite at its facility in Chilliwack, BC., which houses a retail and bulk packaging facility, as well as an on-site bakery that serves as a test kitchen for education and development.
