On A Mission
“Our mission is to inspire and empower Canadian consumers to take a holistic approach to wellness.”
Matt Breech
Co-Founder & CEO
Values-First
From the very beginning, our commitment to the environment and social responsibility drove our business vision.
“People are what make a company. We all need to be nurtured, given opportunities and made to feel both wanted and supported. People want to have fun with their work, but they also want to know that they are respected both for the work they do and as fellow citizens. We believe that we don’t succeed unless the people around us succeed and the health of the planet not only doesn’t suffer but is improved by our work. Part of the fun of building a business is imagining what it will look like in the future and making that dream come true.”

Getting Started
TallGrass Natural Health was created in 1997 when Matt Breech and Ben Banky met while studying in China in the mid-90s. The two had a vision for a business that could provide for the planet and local community as well as be a thriving enterprise. Their first opportunity? Selling hemp clothing to retailers. Hemp clothing evolved into other natural products and a clear passion for helping people live healthier, more sustainable lives.
Commitment in Action
In 2016, we chose to become a Certified B Corporation, a global movement of people using business as a force for good. We balance our purpose and profit, making the healthiest decision possible for our employees, customers, suppliers, community and the environment. See how TallGrass ranks in our B Impact Report.
