Crofters Organic

Crofter's Organic is a Canadian manufacturer of organic fruit spreads founded in 1989 by Gerhard Latka in Parry Sound, Northern Ontario. The company was established with a core philosophy that nutritious, organic food should be accessible to all families, long before organic products entered the mainstream consumer market. With roots in a German family flavour house, Gerhard brought deep expertise in fruit-based products and a commitment to exceptional taste when launching the brand. Crofter's Organic specializes in premium fruit spreads made with real fruit as the primary ingredient, distinguishing itself through a better-for-you nutritional profile combined with genuine fruit-forward flavor. The company's product lineup includes its signature organic fruit spreads as well as a dedicated Superfruit line, introduced around 2009, which features blends of nutrient-dense berries and other fruits selected for their antioxidant and health-promoting properties. All products are crafted under certified organic standards, reflecting the brand's long-standing commitment to clean ingredients and responsible sourcing. Over more than three decades of operation, Crofter's Organic has grown from a small-batch operation in Northern Ontario into a recognized brand distributed across North America and internationally. The Latka family continues to lead the business, maintaining the original vision of combining great taste with wholesome, organic ingredients. The brand's iconic bear mascot, associated with the Superfruit line, has become a recognizable symbol on retail shelves. Crofter's Organic targets health-conscious consumers and families seeking alternatives to conventional high-sugar preserves and jams. The company's products are positioned in the natural and organic grocery channel, appealing to shoppers who prioritize ingredient quality, organic certification, and reduced sugar content. As a family-owned and operated company with a multi-decade track record, Crofter's Organic represents a well-established supplier in the organic fruit spread and specialty preserve segment of the CPG industry.
