At Purely Canada we understand that Nothing is Above Nature. Our five generations of farmers that have farmed the same lands, have taught us that our relationship with nature defines how we live and what we eat. Our food is whole by nature's design.

All our food starts with a seed. We know every step of its journey from our fields into the hands of our ingredient customers. We carefully package our whole foods for this journey in individual containers ensuring it is Identity Preserved. We know the impact on the environment; we know who has touched it, we know its whole story. And we tell it proudly.

Tyler West, CEO of Purely Canada comments "Purely Canada continues to significantly increase sales revenues and improve margins with Identity Preserved whole foods and ingredients which require individual containerized shipping. The new triple intermodal container loading dock will facilitate having three individual containers being loaded simultaneously."

Purely Canada is a vertically integrated company supplying whole foods and ingredients, from the vast and pristine lands of Western Canada to the tables of the world.
