Natural Factors Farms

Natural Factors Privilege & Passion
Today, Natural Factors is one of the largest manufacturers of nutritional products in North America. But their origins reach back to the 1950s, and right from day one, they've always been fully committed to making products right. Natural Factors is not a public company with shareholders to impress. Instead, they care about impressing you.

A Very Special Place
In the alluvial valley between Otter Lake and Swan Lake, just south of the city of Armstrong, BC, lies a very special tract of land- Natural Factors Farms. This exquisite certified-organic farmland gives Natural Factors complete control over securing the best quality raw materials possible. Literally, control from seed selection to finished products. Few, if any, companies in the world can demonstrate such a degree of control over their operations.

Everything Starts With the Soil
This farm has truly unique soil, built up over millennia as water from Otter Lake repeatedly flooded the valley below. These floods deposited a tremendous amount of organic matter onto the land. The resulting alluvial soil is extremely fertile. This incredible top soil is over two metres deep in places and has special lime stratification, which plays an important role in neutralizing the pH of the soil.

Seed Selection
One of the advantages of doing their own organic farming is having complete control over seed selection. Natural Factors make sure to choose true “species” non-hybrid, non-GMO seeds. It’s very important to make sure that the seedlings are natural and healthy, because healthy seedlings mean healthy mature plants. Some of the open pollinated, non-hybridized crops they grow are Echinacea purpurea, astragalus, alfalfa, and lavender.

Controlling the Harvest
Natural Factors also has full control over the harvest. For example, they selectively handpick the echinacea flowers, picking only the mature flower heads, because they contain the highest levels and best ratios of active ingredients. That’s a great advantage over mechanical harvesting, which doesn’t allow for selection based on the maturity of the plants.

Beyond the Farms

Natural Factors' Facilities
Natural Factors has close to 700,000 square feet of space across nine locations in North America, housing offices, manufacturing and production facilities, laboratories, distribution centres, and extensive warehouses. Their head office is in Coquitlam, British Columbia and their new US office is in Monroe, Washington.

Industry Leaders In Manufacturing
Natural Factors vitamin and supplement manufacturing capabilities include tableting, liquid and powder extraction, multi-ingredient aqueous granulations, and a liquid fill line. They are the only branded manufacturer of nutraceuticals in Canada to have our their softgel encapsulation facility, giving them further control over the end product. Their softgel facility can produce up to four billion softgels per year.

Big Enough To Do It Right
Natural Factors believes they need to be "big enough to do it right." This means bringing as many processes in-house as possible. They are one of the only nutritional companies to have their own organic farms, their own extraction, encapsulation, and production facilities, tyheir own labs and research facilities, and a vast network of academic, scientific, and retail partners.
