 GUAYAKI SUSTAINABLE RAINFOREST PRODUCTS:
Guayaki has earned worldwide respect and admiration while setting the high watermark for social and environmental stewardship programs. Without question Guayaki is the world’s finest producer of Yerba Mate. The Rainforest cultivation not only produces the best Yerba Mate but the requirement of 2,000 indigenous hardwood trees per acre is a measure of a fully functioning rainforest providing habitat for countless species of wildlife.
For over fifteen years Guayaki has brought the finest quality of Yerba Mate to the North American market and 2 out of 3 cups of Yerba Mate sold bear Guayaki's wreath. In 2009, the inaugural Guayaki Ache harvest brought to fruition a landmark project as the indigenous Ache Guayaki people of Paraguay harvested their first crop of Yerba Mate in partnership with Guayaki. Guayaki SRP has been working with the Ache since 2002 to help restore their traditional culture and their pride through a regenerative business model that is actively reforesting their ancestral lands.
The NorthernItes Syndicate provides integrated marketing solutions for Guayaki as Cebadors, the traditional term for those who prepare and administer Yerba Mate in a classic Argentine estate. The NorthernItes work with retailers and distributors to facilitate the availability of Guayaki in the market. We also engage in direct consumer marketing with the ultimate goal of cultivating popular awareness of Yerba Mate, its incredible health benefits, and its utility as a lifestyle-enhancing product.
The Northernites would like to congratulate the Ache Guayaki who, through years of hard work, have gained the land title to their ancestral lands.
 AMAZING GRASS:
Amazing Grass was founded to help people lead healthier and more active lives by realizing their full potential through better nutrition at affordable prices. The company was founded by two entrepreneurs, Brandon and Tood, who left the "corporate grind" to pursue a combined passion for the outdoors and healthy living. Their inspiration rose from a desire to address the modern workers dilemma: the pace and stress of the modern lifestyle is inhibiting the average person from getting adequate nutrition. This creates a degenerative cycle where we end up sacrificing our health to keep up with our lifestyle when optimal health is a prerequisite to keeping pace with our lifestyle.
Amazing Grass advocates a holistic philosophy of wellness by connecting heath, nutrition and the environment. This is why Amazing Grass insists on using organically field-grown grasses where conventional producers will opt for less expensive hydroponically-grown ingredients. Amazing Grass uses the whole plant, not just the juice, as the whole plant gives you the benefit of the whole nutritional spectrum. By using state of the art processing technology and good, old-fashioned dirt- Amazing Grass spares no expense to bring to you nutritionally superior products made with the highest quality of organic cereal grasses available on earth.
The Northernites are proud supporters of AmazingGrass and offer the most complete catalog of their products in Canada.
 MANITOBA HARVEST Hemp Foods and Oils:
Manitoba Harvest is the world's largest vertically integrated Hemp Foods producer. Manitoba Harvest was founded by Mike Fata, a once 300 lb teenager, who lost 150 lbs of weight through extreme dieting and excessive dieting. Mike found that even after finding his "ideal form" he still felt unhappy and unfulfilled. After extensive research into health and nutrition- he found hemp. Mike learned how hemp foods, containing both good fats and balanced protein proportions, are optimal as nutritious part of a weight management program.
Mike wanted to share this magic seed with the world and the idea that a happy and healthy lifestyle is best pursued by knowing and respecting everything one puts into one's body. The balanced approach, according to Mike's philosophy, is more rewarding than the extreme.
The NorthernItes enthusiastically support the world's largest farmer-owned hemp food producing company and widely distribute the seed and protein products throughout Canada.
