An energy bar produced by an Indigenous company is taking the U.S. natural food market by storm, and will soon hit shelves here in Canada. Earlier this year General-Mills bought Epic Provisions, a meat bar initially produced out of Texas. And Hershey Chocolate has launched a meat bar line called Krave. The company has even been in talks with Indigenous buffalo farmers in Canada. The fund not only supports Indigenous economies, but also promotes a return to a more healthy, traditional Indigenous diet that consists of fruit, vegetables and buffalo meat.
