Nature’s Path was founded in Vancouver BC in 1985 by Arran and Ratana Stephens. The company started out, and still is today, a passionate, family-run company that makes delicious, organic breakfast and snack foods.
The seed for Nature’s Path was planted way back in the 1930s when Arran Stephens was growing up on his family’s second-generation organic berry farm. Arran’s father taught him how to care for and nurture the soil, telling him to “always leave the earth better than you found it”. These words have been woven into the very fabric of Nature’s Path.
As North America’s largest certified organic breakfast and snack food company, Nature’s Path Organic Foods’ product lineup is actively expanding through strategic acquisitions and innovative product launches, including cold cereals, granolas, hot oatmeal, toaster pastries, waffles, tortilla chips and baby food. Our ability to expand via acquisitions of smaller, organic brands with like-minded values allow us to move closer to our long-term plans to invest in and secure organic land and agriculture.

Pioneer, entrepreneur, artist and visionary, Arran’s organic legacy sprouted more than 50 years ago with just $7, a $1,500 loan and a dream. After opening the first vegetarian restaurant in Canada and the first organic cereal manufacturing facility, he is now leading future generations down a path of organic food and agriculture practices so we may all leave the Earth better than we found it.
