An Okanagan-based business has been honoured for the fifth time by the Canadian Health Food Association.

Nature’s Fare have been given the Brock Elliot Award for Excellence in Retailing for Western Canada, a title they have been honoured with before. The award was presented at Western Canada’s largest natural health and organics trade event in Vancouver last week.

"We are so proud to win again this year," said General Manager, Corporate Operations Shaun Daniels. "We simply couldn't have done this without the support of our team, our customers, and our vendors."

Nature’s Fare Markets are known by suppliers and customers alike for their ethical and sustainable practices, support of local farmers and artisans, and providing non-GMO, gluten-free and vegan options.

The family run business was established in Kelowna more than 20 years ago in Kelowna and it has grown to become the Okanagan’s natural food and supplement retailer of choice. There are six locations across the province, with the seventh location set to open soon in White Rock.
