I had the honor of attending CHFA NOW Vancouver for the 2nd year in a row as media. cahealthfood For those who don’t know, CHFA NOW Vancouver is one of Canada’s leading health & natural product trade shows, bringing together brands, innovators, retailers, and creators all in one space to shape the future of wellness. Walking through every booth felt like stepping into inspiration. From cutting-edge supplements to functional foods and sustainable wellness brands — every conversation reminded me why I’m so passionate about the health & fitness space. What stood out most wasn’t just the products, it was the people behind them. Founders sharing their stories. Brands built on purpose. Conversations about transparency, quality, and impact. Grateful for the opportunity. Inspired for what’s next. And more motivated than ever to continue learning, growing, and sharing value with this community. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏽

Staying ready for the unexpected 😎 | Final Day at #CHFANOW Vancouver – Story Time … So we ran out of sample bags on Day 1… which meant I had to come in early on the final day to make new ones before the doors opened. Halfway through packing them, I suddenly spotted one of the high-profile prospects I’ve been trying to connect with for months walking toward the booth. You can probably imagine my excitement… while still trying to look professional 🤣 He didn’t waste time - straight into questions about the brand, the products, and the opportunity. We spent about 20 minutes talking, and honestly I’m grateful he came before the show floor opened. I definitely wasn’t expecting him that early… but thankfully, I was ready 😎 Day two had a completely different energy. Less tension, more relaxed conversations, and I finally had a bit more time to move around and connect with others. Both days were incredible. For our first time at CHFA NOW West, it was truly a great experience. Now that we’re back home, the real work begins - nurturing the new relationships and seeing what partnerships grow from them. If you’re curious to try our products, you can currently find Simply Go Natural haircare and skincare in 45+ Sobeys and 35 Lawtons stores across Atlantic Canada, at Halifax Stanfield International Airport, and online on our website for customers outside the region. #CHFA #CanadianBeautyBrand #madeinnovascotia #shoplocalcanada

Two days of non-stop conversations, laughter, and connection with incredible industry professionals at CHFA NOW Vancouver unficanada cahealthfood . From familiar faces to new friends, including a wonderful catch-up with Rude Mama rudemamahotsauce the energy on the floor was contagious. So much inspiration, so many ideas, and endless opportunities to learn and grow together. 💛 It wasn’t just about the products; it was about the people, the stories, and the shared passion for natural, organic, and wellness innovation. Socializing, networking, and exchanging ideas reminded us why we love being part of this amazing community. 🌿 #CHFA #CHFAWest #CHFANOW #Networking #Socializing

Our first trade show exhibiting alongside our distributor, lcgfoods LCG (Leaner, Cleaner, Greener Foods) Foods has been building since 2007 — now distributing close to 200 curated brands to 1,300+ stores across Canada, with warehouses in Ontario and British Columbia. At CHFA West, they brought together 15 brands in one section — and the energy was nonstop! Because so many retailers already work with LCG Foods, there was instant trust. Once buyers tried our products, onboarding was simple — just adding Nam Fruits to their next LCG Foods order. While we focused on sampling and telling our story, LCG Foods handled the logistics behind the scenes — making everything seamless for retailers. Our strongest show yet. Grateful for the partnership. Excited for what's to come! 🥭🍌 #NamFruits #LCGFoods #CHFANOW #CHFAWest #CanadianBrand

#CHFANOW Vancouver, move-in and setup day drama 😩Today makes exactly two weeks since this moment! I won’t lie… this show almost happened without me. I was supposed to ship everything ahead of time, but sample production was delayed. My mini display booth was left behind because I was simply too sick and too weak to handle it - it was heavy and I just didn’t have the strength. At that point, I decided to take it one step at a time and not stress about what I couldn’t control. My only prayer was that my health wouldn’t get worse or turn into a cough before the show. Thankfully, the next day I felt much better - and that was the main day and first day of the show. From the moment the doors opened until closing, I was on my feet nonstop. I grabbed some Tim’s breakfast in the morning but only managed to drink the coffee all day… no time to eat and barely time for a break 😅 Honestly, this was the most intense show I’ve ever done. The interest in our products was incredible. Our new branding definitely played a huge role, because I’ve attended shows before — but the level of interest we received this time was completely different. And after everything it took to get there, I wasn’t about to miss a single opportunity. I came for those conversations, those buyers, and those moments - and we got the job done 💪🏾 Part 2 coming soon… If you’re looking for our products, you can find Simply Go Natural in: ✨ Sobeys and Lawtons stores across Atlantic Canada ✨ Hudson News at Halifax Stanfield International Airport ✨ Online on our website if you’re outside the region #chfa #cleanbeautycanada #shoplocalcanada #womenownedbusiness chfawest
