Betty Forbes

Passion, belief, enthusiasm, dedication, not being afraid to venture out into the unknown and love founded a seabuckthorn orchard in 1998 with my Dad, George Strelioff at the helm. My brother, Patrick, sister Gina, my Mother Pauline and my two boys Jason and Daniel along with my Dad and myself planted.

Dad knew of the incredible nutritional value and built a huge sign in front of our orchard, 'Seabuckthorn-Vitamin C+'. Although very known as a superfruit and immune system booster in other parts of the world, customers were unsure of how to use seabuckthorn, so in 2009 we began making value-added products. We chose the brand name of 'nvigorate' for those products because we felt that it represented both seabuckthorn and the value customers received.

From our organically certified orchard, we offer a wide variety of products focused on health, beauty, vitality and fun ranging from just berries and dried leaves to vinegar, fruit leather, spread, syrups and chocolates, to name a few. If you haven't tried it yet, the gelato is to die for! For more information on seabuckthorn, check out our website:
