Nature’s Path announces majority acquisition of Anita’s Organic Mill

Organic food company Nature’s Path Foods has announced its acquisition of a majority interest in Canadian flour producer Anita’s Organic Mill.

Established in 1997, Anita’s is a miller and manufacturer of organic flours, and also offers a selection of pancake and waffle mixes.

The company’s organic grain is sourced from farmers across Canada and milled at its facility in Chilliwack, British Columbia. The site also houses a retail and bulk packaging facility, and an on-site bakery that serves as a test kitchen.

Retaining its own branding, Anita’s Organic Mill will join brands including Love Crunch, EnviroKidz and Que Pasa as part of the Nature’s Path portfolio.

“We have been a customer of Anita’s Organic Mill since 2015 and have been using their flour in some of our top-selling products, like our Heritage Flakes and Flax Plus cereals,” said Arjan Stephens, general manager of Nature’s Path.

“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.”

Stephens added: “We love Anita’s products and truly believe in them. We look forward to making Anita’s Organic Mill a baking staple in kitchens everywhere.”
