Too many reactions for one post. So here's Part 2. 🥭 Same booth. Same first bites. Same reaction every time: 😳 → 😍 → 🤚 "can I have another one?" Two days at CHFA NOW (cahealthfood). Hundreds of tastings. The pattern never changed. 👀 #NamFruits #CHFANOW #CHFA2026 #FirstBite #CanadianTradeShow

A glimpse into three weeks ago today - our final hours and preparations for the CHFA NOW Vancouver trade show setup. ✨ We prepared 9 of our 11 Simply Go Natural products for buyers who stopped by our booth. Everyone who visited got an introduction to our brand, our story, and the chance to experience every product on display - to see how they smell and feel on both skin and hair. We love giving buyers the opportunity to experience the products firsthand, because it helps them truly understand the quality behind the brand and what we stand for. Each buyer also received a sample bag to try the products at home. We made 150 sample bags — and gave out every single one! In fact, we ran out just as the show was coming to an end. Looks like we prepared just the right amount. A fun and interesting fact from the show: our Ylang Ylang Body Butter was a big hit with buyers. What made this even more special for me is that I had completely lost my sense of smell while making the samples because I was sick, so I couldn’t smell anything during production. But I got my sense of smell back on the day of the show setup, as seen in this video, which meant I was finally able to smell the Ylang Ylang again and experience what everyone else was loving. Perfect timing! Interestingly, this scent is usually one of the least requested among our body butters in Atlantic Canada, likely because many people here are less familiar with ylang ylang essential oil. It’s actually a luxurious and expensive oil, so it’s not commonly used in everyday products. Personally, it’s one of my absolute favourites after lavender, so it was refreshing to see buyers really appreciate it. You can find Simply Go Natural haircare and skincare products: • In sobeys • In lawtonsdrugs across Atlantic Canada 🇨🇦 • On our website Not local to Atlantic Canada? We’re working hard to bring our products to retail shelves closer to you, so keep following and supporting our journey.

✨ CHFA NOW West Brand Highlight ✨ Popoff drinkpopoff 🥤 At CHFA NOW West in Vancouver a few weeks ago, Nationwide Natural Foods had the pleasure of connecting with one of the exciting emerging beverage brands creating buzz in the functional drink space - Popoff. Founded by Jenn, Popoff is a better for you functional craft soda designed for people who love the taste of pop but want something made with more purposeful ingredients. Each can is crafted with real fruit, prebiotic fibre and essential vitamins and minerals, delivering refreshing flavour with added functionality while remaining low in sugar and calories. What makes Popoff even more inspiring is the story behind the brand. Jenn created the company after losing her father in 2022, turning that loss into a mission to build a beverage that supports healthier choices and meaningful living. From bold flavours like Mango Passionfruit, Elderflower, Peach and Sour Green Apple, Popoff is reimagining what modern soda can be. Vibrant, functional and crafted with intention. It was fantastic seeing the energy around the Popoff booth at CHFA and learning more about the passion behind this growing brand. At Nationwide Natural Foods, we are always excited to work alongside founders who are bringing innovation, authenticity and purpose to the Natural and Organic CPG community. Cheers to the next generation of better for you beverages 🥤 #CHFANOW #CHFAWest #NationwideNaturalFoods #DrinkPopoff #FunctionalBeverages
