By joining Food Farm Hub, North of 49 Naturals will increase its visibility among professional buyers looking for fruit powders, vegetable powders, dehydrated ingredients and customized ingredient solutions for food and beverage applications.

Turning Surplus Produce into Valuable Ingredients

North of 49 Naturals was built around a simple but important opportunity: finding new value in quality fruits and vegetables that might otherwise go unused.

The company transforms fresh produce into shelf-stable powders and fibers using a low-thermal drying process. This allows agricultural products to be preserved and supplied as versatile ingredients for food manufacturers and other commercial applications.

North of 49 Naturals works with local farms as well as producers from other regions, including small and family-owned agricultural businesses. This approach creates additional value from agricultural resources while supporting a more sustainable food supply chain.

The company's production has grown significantly over the years, from approximately 3 tonnes of raw produce processed in 2008 to more than 500 tonnes in 2025, reflecting its continued growth in sustainable ingredient production.

A Growing Portfolio of Fruit & Vegetable Ingredients

North of 49 Naturals offers a broad selection of fruit powders, vegetable powders and dehydrated ingredients for B2B and industrial applications.

Its fruit range includes apple, blueberry, blackberry, cranberry, raspberry, strawberry and grape skin powders, as well as fruit powder blends. Its vegetable portfolio includes beet root, broccoli, cabbage, carrot, kale, parsley, pumpkin, spinach and sweet potato powders, along with vegetable powder blends.

Selected products are available in conventional and organic options, giving manufacturers flexibility when developing mainstream, premium or organic product lines.

The ingredients can be used across a range of applications, including beverages, bakery products, snacks, seasonings, nutritional products and other food formulations. Bulk supply is also available for qualified B2B customers.

Customized Ingredients for Food Manufacturers

Beyond its standard ingredient portfolio, North of 49 Naturals provides customized processing services to support specific manufacturing requirements.

The company offers custom milling and sifting, precise size grading and customized sweetness levels for selected fruit products, including sugar-free and higher-sugar options.

This flexibility enables food manufacturers and product developers to specify ingredients according to their formulation, processing and application requirements. For buyers looking for bulk fruit powder suppliers or bulk vegetable powder suppliers, these customization capabilities can provide additional flexibility when developing or scaling products.

Food Safety and Certifications

For food manufacturers sourcing ingredients internationally, food safety, quality management and regulatory compliance are important considerations.

North of 49 Naturals operates with food safety management practices based on HACCP principles and holds a Safe Food for Canadians (SFCR) licence. The company is also FDA registered, supporting its ability to serve food businesses in international markets.

Buyers should confirm current certifications, product specifications and regulatory documentation directly with North of 49 Naturals based on their specific product, application and destination market requirements.
