The Kindersley Ingredient Processing Terminal located in Western Saskatchewan, is capable of processing  and shipping up to 100,000 metric tonnes of value-added grains and protein ingredients.

It will be a privilege to work closely once again with the producers of peas, lentils, canary seed, and mustard in this region. Our Purely Canada Kindersley team has direct knowledge and understanding of the facility, its capabilities and the producer needs within this region. The west central  Saskatchewan region has long been my home and the crops produced are the highest quality and  showcase quality with our buyers around the world”.

Tyler West, Co-Founder and CEO of Purely Canada, expresses “We understand that Nothing is Above  Nature. Our five generations of farmers that have farmed the same lands, have taught us that our  relationship with nature defines how we live and what we eat. Our food starts with a seed and is whole  by nature’s design. We know every step of its journey from our fields to people’s plates. We know the impact on the environment; we know who has touched it, we know its whole story. And we tell it proudly”.

About Above Food and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  

Above Food’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Above Food Brands Inc., and Purely Canada Foods Corp., are  vertically integrated, high growth, seed-to-fork plant-based platforms that have well-established financial  profiles stemming primarily from its business to-business (B2B) relationships, selling to over 300  customers across 35 countries.

On October 8, 2020, Purely Canada announced its merger with Above Food Brands Inc. (“Above Food”).  Above Food is a plant protein food business that develops and distributes delicious, and densely nutritious  plant-based alternatives to meat (Above Meat) and dairy (Above Dairy) through their proprietary Whole Plant Protein Formulations.

“What we’ve built is truly disruptive. The ability to have custody of these new proteins, including lentils,  chickpeas, fava, peas and oats, from seed all the way through to the end consumers dinner plate, allows  us to create nutrient density and superior functional performance across our business-to-business,  Advanced Ingredient, and business-to-consumer lines of our business,” explains Lionel Kambeitz,  Executive Chairman of Regina-based Above Food Corp.

Purely Canada and Above Food commits that its products will tell the whole story, from field to plate,  ensuring that customers can trust that every bite is natural, good-for-them, and sustainably produced.
