The Company:
We are a small company, owned by families and friends, based in Brattleboro, Vermont and our organic farm is near the Children’s Rain Forest of Costa Rica. New Chapter was founded in 1982 with a mission to promote healing through the infinite wisdom of whole foods. We believe Nature got it right the first time. That is, nourishment, protection and health that come from whole food -- not from the synthetic vitamins, minerals and chemical herbal isolates you’ll find in most supplements. In fact, we hesitate to even categorize New Chapter products as food supplements. Rather, New Chapter is supplemental food, because it is food.
We carry the distinction of being the supplement industry`s first certified organic manufacturer to produce vitamins and minerals made with organic ingredients. We are also committed to supporting and protecting the environment, and our Costa Rican farm is a world model for organic sustainable farming in the rain forest.
