If you’re curious about sustainable chaga harvesting practices and how to ensure you’re sourcing chaga in an eco-friendly way, you’ve come to the right place.
Sustainable, Certified Organic Mushroom Harvesting at TruNorth Naturals
At TruNorth Naturals, we’re not just harvesting chaga and mushrooms – we’re dedicated to sustainable, certified organic practices that protect Ontario’s natural resources. We stand out as one of the only companies certified to sustainably harvest chaga and wild mushrooms on a vast scale while prioritizing the health of our forests.
What Makes Our Harvesting Practices Sustainable?
Our operations span over 6.6 million hectares of Ontario forests, where we hold organic certification, along with permission to harvest sustainably on an additional 87 million hectares. Yet, despite having access to such a large area, we’ve only harvested around 200,000 hectares over our 8 years in business—representing just 0.23% of our approved land. This careful approach allows harvested areas to regenerate naturally, supporting long-term forest health.
Why Organic-Certified Chaga Matters
Our organic certification ensures adherence to strict standards. We work closely with both government and private organizations to identify any areas potentially exposed to contaminants, such as glyphosate-treated forests. To further protect the quality of our products and the environment, we use GIS mapping to keep a safe distance—typically 1 km—from potential contamination sources like highways and industrial zones.
Fair Wild Certification – A Commitment to Ethical Harvesting
TruNorth Naturals is currently in the process of achieving Fair Wild certification, which we expect to complete within the next eight months. This certification will reinforce our ethical and fair harvesting practices, ensuring each chaga and mushroom is harvested responsibly, with respect for both nature and local communities.
When you choose TruNorth Naturals, you’re not only choosing high-quality, wild-harvested, organic-certified chaga and mushrooms – you’re also supporting a company that’s committed to sustainable practices for a healthier planet.
