YUMA, AR - All aboard to Canada! Our neighbor up north is gearing up to welcome the industry in Toronto for the Canadian Produce Marketing Association (CPMA) Convention and Trade Show—and Bard Valley Natural Delights® is one of them. The date provider is returning to CPMA this year with award-winning products and a successful Canadian marketing program in tow.

David Baxter, Director of Marketing, Bard Valley Natural Delights®“Our marketing efforts have focused on educating consumers about the health benefits and versatility of Medjool dates while highlighting our commitment to sustainability and ethical farming practices,” said Director of Marketing David Baxter.

For the last several years, Natural Delights has focused its efforts on expanding distribution globally to meet the growing demand for Medjool dates.

This year, Natural Delights partnered with “Canada’s Baking Sweetheart” Anna Olson to help elevate the brand through her unrivaled reputation and prominence. Olson experienced Medjool date harvest first-hand in September and cataloged her experience on her Oh Yum YouTube channel, which has since become the second most viewed video, just below her introduction video.

Taking her expertise to TV screens, Olson also hosted baking demonstrations on Canada’s most high-profile morning shows. Through her support, Olson has earned Natural Delights more than 25 million impressions this year.
