Vancouver, BCgood natured Products Inc. (TSX-V:GDNP) (the “Company” or “good naturedTM”), is pleased to announce its growing relationship with British Columbia-based Grown Here Farms, as they expand production to meet the high demand for locally grown, organic micro greens. As part of this program, good natured® is supplying Grown Here Farms with plant-based packaging to support an expanded assortment of micro greens, as well as new seasonal produce lines, such as cherry tomatoes.

For Grown Here Farms, a desire for impactful change and sustainability are the foundations on which the company was built, and making the switch to good natured® plant-based packaging was about more than just reducing reliance of fossil fuels. For certified organic farms like Grown Here, reassuring customers that the packaging they use contains no BPAs, phthalates or other chemicals of concern commonly found in petroleum-based packaging is of critical importance. This, coupled with innovative design features of good natured® packaging, including inter-locking seals to keep produce fresher as well as packaging features that enhance visibility of the fresh greens made the switch to good natured® packaging that much more straightforward.

“Since implementing good natured® packaging, we’ve had nothing but positive comments from our customers. Based on this feedback, we’ve now rolled it out across other product lines, from our cherry tomato medley to the baby potato fusion,” said Krystine McInnes, CEO of Grown Here Farms. Krystine continued, “The versatility of the good natured® design has not only made our operations more efficient, but is playing a key role in strengthening our brand recognition with uniformity across our packaging and our sustainable proposition.”

Paul Antoniadis, CEO of good natured® added: “We’re thrilled to be part of Grown Here Farms’ incredible growth story and are looking forward to continuing to support Krystine and her team on their exciting journey! This relationship reinforces our approach to deliver packaging that’s better for the planet and also better designed for retail and for our customers’ overall business operations.”
