As Canadian fields slow down for the season, GoodLeaf Farms is welcoming the colder months with the launch of its new True North Blend, a boldly flavourful, proudly Canadian mix of red and green leaves grown locally indoors and available freshyear-round.
True North Blend marks a new milestone for Canada’s leader in vertical indoor farming. As the first national mix to feature nutrient-rich baby beet greens alongside tender baby romaine and vibrant lettuce, it showcases a fresh, flavour-forward combination that reflects GoodLeaf Farms’ commitment to innovation, sustainability and growing year-round local produce.
Consumers are craving flavour, colour and function on their plates and beet greens have become a trending ingredient, with more than 3.2 million #beet mentions online.Their slightly sweet flavour adds a unique twist to the blend, complementing the crisp romaine and vibrant lettuce. As Canadians continue to choose locally grown foods and vibrant, nutrient-dense ingredients, True North Blend hits all the right notes for those looking to eat well and feel good doing it.
As Canadians increasingly prioritize local sourcing and reduced reliance on imported produce, True North Blend meets this shift head-on with greens that are grown indoors, pesticide-free and 100% Canadian, year around. By growing locally, GoodLeaf strengthens Canada’s food security while helping reduce dependence on U.S. imports.
Nearly half of Canadians (46%)* now cite domestic sourcing as their top sustainability consideration in food purchases, driven by:
- Supporting the local economy (55%)
- Belief that locally produced food is healthier (49%)
- Perception that it’s higher quality (44%)
Building on that demand, True North Blend delivers complex colour, satisfying crunch and crisp, sweet flavour in every bite. It’s packed with 113% of the daily value of vitamin K and rich in vitamins A and C for bone, immune and skin health.
- Locally grown, 365 days a year — always pesticide, herbicide and fungicide-free
- Ready to eat — no washing required, straight from package to plate
- Sweet, nutrient-rich and versatile — perfect with feta, roasted veggies, chickpeas or a light vinaigrette
This month’s launch of True North Blend taps into one of the fastest-growing categories in produce, and one of the most beautiful.
