Retailers & Distributors
Customers are attracted by our packaging, buy for the unique experience, and keep coming back for the great taste and healthy feeling.
Our products align with customer desires, not as a gimmick, but because it’s who we are. Boreal Heartland ingredients have health benefits, are 100% wild crafted (all natural), are guaranteed to originate from Northern Saskatchewan (local/Canadian) and are guaranteed to be harvested in a sustainable and culturally appropriate manner.
Our prices may be higher but the bulk of it goes to paying harvesters a fair wage for their work.
Boreal Heartland’s vision is to 1) increase employment opportunities in an economy with only 38% employment 2) utilize the specialized knowledge and skills of the northern community 3) show that the forest is valuable for more than just logging. We support the Northern Lifestyle.

Bulk Herbs
We stock large volumes of dried herbs and some frozen berries that are not listed on our retail website. We easily fulfill small (1-2 lbs) and medium (10-50 lbs) sized orders. With a pre-order we can supply 100s or 1000s of pounds (the weather and plants permitting). We are committed to sustainable and culturally appropriate harvest practices and will refrain from harvests that risk environmental integrity or the socio-economic well-being of our community. We will communicate throughout the process, so you are able to plan. Our herbs come with a story that resonates with consumers.
