Canada-based Nature’s Touch Frozen Foods will invest $1.8 million to establish its first Virginia operation in Warren County, creating 25 jobs.
The company imports fruits and vegetables and distributes its frozen food products across the U.S.
Nature’s Touch, founded in 2004, has the private-label frozen fruit accounts of all major grocery chains in Canada.
The company established its first U.S. operations in Vermont in 2009.
The Virginia Economic Development Partnership worked with Warren County, the Warren County Economic Development Authority (EDA), and the Interchange of Front Royal to secure the project for Virginia.
The company is eligible to participate in the Virginia Enterprise Zone Program, administered by the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development.
Funding and services to support the company’s employee training activities will be provided through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program.
