MANCHESTER, N.H., March 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- MegaFood, a leader in the natural supplement industry, recently donated a total of $30,000 to its Farm Fresh Partners' chosen charities at the Natural Products Expo West trade show in Anaheim, CA.

In addition to all of the work they put into their farms, each one of MegaFood's Farm Fresh Partners puts their time and energy into a local nonprofit in their community. MegaFood believes in all of the work that these organizations are doing to advocate for sustainable and organic agriculture and community programs, and supports them as part of its core value "Share the Love."

"It's such an honor to be able to donate to these amazing organizations that our Farm Fresh Partners support and care for in their communities," says MegaFood CEO Robert Craven. "From organic agriculture to art to community funding, we're proud that these dollars support a broad range of initiatives that align with our mission of improving lives."

"We're thrilled to continue our partnership with MegaFood that helps further our mission of educating farmers and consumers about the benefits of an organic lifestyle. Florida Organic Growers shares the same vision. We are excited to continue this partnership," says Matt McLean, CEO and Founder of Uncle Matt's Organic.
