This past weekend, our community came together at cahealthfood #CHFANOW Vancouver β and what an incredible few days it was!
Our founder, ArleneDickinson, President, mentors, alumni, friends, and supporters, all connected to celebrate innovation, share ideas, and strengthen the spirit that defines Canadian CPG. Itβs moments like these that remind us how powerful community can be in helping founders grow, innovate, and thrive.
A special thank you to everyone who joined us for our Founders networking event, hosted alongside can_foodinnovation.
The future of Canadian innovation is in good hands, and we are excited to continue championing this incredible community. π

πβ¨What a buzz!
Jeff and I simply had the best time exhibiting at cahealthfood with our team this weekend! Weβre bee-yond grateful to everyone who came by to say hello. π
We couldnβt have been prouder to share our story and provide samples of our 100% pure honey from the Creston Valley to such engaging and interested visitors. And we truly value the several new connections we made with individuals from the natural health products, specialty food, and organic industries who share our vision and passion.
We are starting the week invigorated and inspired β¦ well, after we rested our feet for a good while! π
An added bonus was connecting with my fellow lesdamesbc members ππ Thanks for coming by!
Head over to our website at π in bio to check out the complete line of Honey Bee Zen products we featured at the show.

π π CHFA NOW Vancouver 2026. Done. And this one had some wins worth celebrating. π π
We supported 11 builds across the floor this weekend and the energy at the show was exceptional. Valuable conversations, face-to-face connection, and buyers who came ready to make decisions.
π POWRD β Best Booth Award!
Their first major trade show build, and they took home Best Booth! FOCUS+ and ENERGY+ in a space designed to do invite people in and let the product do the talking. Congratulations to the POWRD team.
Magic Scoop Nutrition returned for year two in their Sequoia-built space. A past CHFA Launch Pad winner making their presence felt on the floor again. The MagicScoop team comes with contagious energy and killer product. We're tremendously proud of this fantastic group of folks!
Naturally Homegrown Foods Ltd. brought three brands to one build: First Cut, Hardbite, and Poptastic, each with their own story, their own space, and their own voice. Excellent showing, gang!
CanPrev showed up the way a brand with twenty years behind it should: depth, credibility, and plenty of room for real conversations, and the space performed exceptionally well as a backdrop to top-tier business building.
"Every Sequoia build starts with a conversation. Great client inspiration, a collaborative process, and a team that knows how to bring a brand to life in three dimensions. POWRD's Best Booth win is a testament to what that partnership can produce β and they weren't the only ones turning heads this weekend."

Another inspiring weekend at cahealthfood #CHFANOW Vancouver β an annual industry-only tradeshow hub for natural, organic, and wellness products! I spent two days exploring hundreds of vendors, chatting with founders, and sampling the latest in food and CPG.
Here are the 4 trends that stood out to me this year:
1οΈβ£ Matcha Resurgence β From ceremonial blends to functional beverages with protein, collagen & Lionβs Mane.
2οΈβ£ Freeze-Dried Fruit Expansion β Crunchy, flavorful, and showing up in snacks, chocolates, and smoothie mixes. π
3οΈβ£ Dill Pickle Flavor Boom β Tangy, bold, and everywhere across chips, crackers, and roasted snacks. π₯
4οΈβ£ Reducing Our Packaging Footprint β Compostable bottles, paper-based packs, refillable candles, and PVA-free cleaning pods.
The future of wellness is tasty, functional, and sustainable! Thank you as always for the invite to CHFA, canβt wait to do this again next year!
What a weekend at CHFA NOW Vancouver. Nonstop action from start to finish.
Loved catching up with old friends, meeting some new ones, and sharing our sauces with lots of fresh faces. Nothing better than watching that first taste turn into a smileβ¦ then seeing them circle back for another sample π
