Barrie-based business Nutrafarms impacts Canadian liver health
A Barrie-based business has teamed up with a not-for-profit to raise awareness for liver health.
Nutrafarms Inc. is donating $100 to the Canadian Liver Foundation (CLF) for every food package sold at CLF events or by buyers who mention the CLF.
Nutrafarms offers natural, local, and organic fruits, meats, and vegetables delivered direct to homes.
“We control everything from farm to fork,” David Steele, vice-president of marketing at Nutrafarms, said. “Our mission is to provide people with a top quality, healthy alternative to commercially raised products and deliver it directly.”
“The CLF wanted to partner with corporations with like-minded ideals that dealt with products that were healthy for the liver,” Steeles said.
Nutrafarms fit with the CLF mission with its focus on healthy eating.
“Poor eating habits are a contributing factor to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,” Gary Fagan, president of the CLF, said in a prepared release.
Fatty liver disease affects 7 million Canadians and is primarily caused by poor eating habits.
The CLF is the only non-governmental organization in Canada providing research for liver diseases.
