About Us

North Bay Trading Company is a small family owned business that offers select natural foods to retailers, restaurants, and health conscious consumers.

Greggar Isaksen established the business in 1987 with early operations focusing on organic Canadian wild rice and marketing this product to upscale resorts. In 1997, Borg Isaksen came onboard to manage sales and marketing. The primary customer base became natural food stores with bulk departments. North Bay also increased its capacity to blend healthy soups. Thousand Lakes Food Company, a brand of North Bay Trading Co., began in 2006 for products containing Minnesota wild rice. In 2008, North Bay began to offer individual varieties of high quality dried vegetables, many of which were already stocked for the bulk soup mixes. Next, by popular request, North Bay added freeze dried fruit with no infused sugar and no sulfites. Most recently, in the summer of 2009, a select line of freeze dried vegetables was launched. Today our retail and bulk food items are found in natural food stores, food cooperatives, some restaurants, and, of course, here on this website.
