Insight from Lori about Brad:
"I heard someone described once as 'genetically incapable of artifice'. That phrase is a perfect definition of Brad."

Brad McNish, President

Brad is the founder of Natural Farmworks and he is the individual primarily responsible for setting the direction, the pace and the attitude of the company. Brad is a graduate of Harvard Business School Agribusiness and he is a voracious consumer of scientific and nutritional knowledge. Brad has a solid background in science and in food processing, from extraction methodology through to all aspects of commercial production. He is the technical brain behind our products as well as the creative source of many of our product ideas.

Brad came to food production in a round-about kind of way. He grew up in Calgary, Alberta, chose a career in law enforcement, bought cows and started farming on the side, became the president of the local organic association and chose to retire from policing because he wanted to farm full time. Brad did not waste any time - he started a company to feed better forms of minerals to his livestock and finally decided that he could create better forms of foods for people as well. Whew!

One very real driver in Brad's desire to focus on green foods production within Natural Farmworks was his own health. Brad has suffered from Chron's disease for most of his adult life. The one food that seemed to always ease his stomach pain was greens made from young barley leaves. Being a person who has always valued quality, Brad felt that no one could or would ever make a green food that delivered the benefits nor provided the relief that a product that he personally oversaw from the seed through to the finished product could. Our company, with its focus on green, plant-based nutrition was born.

Brad has always put fitness and health at the forefront of his life. He is the kind of guy that jumps into life with both feet, which in many cases has required physical strength, vigorous cardio and extreme control over his own mind. His disciplined life has served him well whether he was diving under ice, wrestling with the bad guys as part of the police TAC team, competitive skiing or defending his title as backyard badminton champ with his three teenage boys.
