Good Natured Products (GDNP) has announced that ForageGirl will be shipping this year’s harvest in new BPI-certified compostable packaging supplied by Good Natured.

ForageGirl is a brand of Norcliff Farms and North America’s largest producer of fiddleheads.

Companies and consumers are actively seeking out new foods with shorter and cleaner supply chains.

ForageGirl Fiddleheads is on a mission to supply fresh, sustainably foraged, fiddleheads to plates throughout Canada and the United States. These vegetables are foraged by hand in New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario – and then delivered in as few as 30 hours to major grocers, including Sobeys, Metro, Safeway, and Loblaws.

Available fresh in early spring, fiddleheads are young ferns that have not yet unfurled into fronds. A nutrient-dense superfood, its growing popularity stems from its delicate, sweet flavour and versatility in a variety of healthy, plant-based recipes.

ForageGirl Fiddleheads is a second-generation family-run business that aims to transition 100% per cent of its packaging to plant-based by 2023.

“Nature is the foundation that supports our lives, and it is our responsibility to take care of it,” said ForageGirl Fiddleheads President Brittany Maranger.

“We recognize the importance of doing our part, and we appreciate the incredibly nourishing food we have right in our backyard and are committed to being sustainable in every stage of delivering our hand-foraged, preservative-free wild fiddleheads,” he added.

“Our North American-focused manufacturing model is flexible and scalable, allowing us to offer packaging solutions to local businesses of all sizes who are looking to switch to plant-based.,” stated Good Natured CEO Paul Antoniadis.

Good Natured Products Inc. is a North American leader in plant-based products pursuing its goal of becoming North America’s leading earth-friendly product company.

At 12.36PM ET, Good Natured Products Inc. rose to $0.60 with $0.04 or 7.143 per cent.
