About the Business
Northern Vigor Berries
“Promoting healthy lifestyles with the best of nature”
Passion, belief, enthusiasm, dedication, not being afraid to venture out into the unknown and love founded our seabuckthorn orchard in 1998. In 2007, the business was incorporated as Northern Vigor Berries Inc.
Although very known as a superfruit and immune system booster in other parts of the world, customers were unsure of how to use seabuckthorn, so in 2009 we began making value-added products. We chose the brand name of ‘nvigorate’ for those products because we felt that it represented both seabuckthorn and the value customers received. From our organically certified orchard, we offer a wide variety of products focused on health, beauty, vitality and fun ranging from just berries and dried leaves (for tea) to vinegars, fruit leather, syrups, spreads and chocolates, to name a few. If you haven’t tried it yet, the gelato is to die for! For more information on seabuckthorn and for recipes, check out our website: www.nvigorate.ca
