Internatural Marketing Inc.

InterNatural Marketing was formed in 1989 by Chris Bell and has witnessed the evolution of the organic industry. In the early days, no buyers in the U.S. really understood what organic meant. Originally from England, Chris started InterNatural in Florida selling organic produce internationally. In 1992, he was forced to rethink his business model after new EU laws went into effect in Europe, changing laws effecting imports from all but a few long-established certifications, grandfathered into the regulations. With his experience as a partner in a successful health food store in West Palm Beach Florida, and using his connections he persuaded his first major U.S. customer, Publix Supermarkets, to start carrying organics. Thirty years later, InterNatural Marketing represents an array of organic growers in the U.S. and around the world. With the intent of creating greater opportunities for organics within the mainstream marketplace, InterNatural Marketing helps farmers (from farmers with as little as 30 acres to farmers who have hundreds of acres) get their organic products to market. The company acts as a one-stop source and consultancy solution for farmers.
