The Harvest Table, a South African wellness brand known for its clean-label collagen and whole-food nutrition products, will participate in the 2026 ECRM Vitamin, Weight Management & Sports Nutrition Session, scheduled for September 14-17 in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The event connects brands with buyers from major health, specialty, and food, drug, and mass retailers, offering The Harvest Table a platform to present its story, product philosophy, and expanding U.S. portfolio to a broader retail audience.
This participation comes as the family-run company continues to grow beyond its established South African market. The brand recently launched its first products in the United States through Amazon, an important milestone in its international strategy. Sam Clark, CEO of The Harvest Table, noted, "Entering the U.S. market has been an exciting milestone for The Harvest Table, and ECRM gives us an opportunity to introduce the brand and what we stand for to the retail community. We've spent years building the business around ingredient integrity, quality manufacturing, and products that people can easily incorporate into their everyday lives. We're looking forward to sharing that story."
The company's current U.S. product offering, available on Amazon, includes Multi Collagen Radiance (12.35 oz pouch), Bovine Collagen Granules (12.35 oz pouch), and Vegan Protein (19.40 oz pouch). These products reflect The Harvest Table's emphasis on straightforward formulations, carefully selected ingredients, and clean-label nutrition. For instance, the Vegan Protein is produced without added gums, fillers, preservatives, artificial flavors, or dyes.
Founded by Catherine Clark, The Harvest Table began with small batches made for family and friends and has evolved into a wellness company with its own manufacturing operation in KwaZulu-Natal. This in-house approach allows the company to maintain control over sourcing, formulation, manufacturing, and quality as it expands internationally. Catherine Clark emphasized, "Growth has always been about finding the right opportunities without losing the values that built The Harvest Table. As we introduce our products to more consumers in the United States, maintaining that focus on quality, transparency, and simplicity remains incredibly important to us."
The company's products are manufactured in a custom-built facility that passes annual Food Safety Assessment (FSA) audits, meets GMP manufacturing requirements, and is recognized as a Food Safe Facility. It also holds Halal certification for applicable markets. This commitment to quality and transparency positions The Harvest Table to appeal to health-conscious U.S. consumers who prioritize clean ingredients and ethical manufacturing.
For U.S. retailers, partnering with The Harvest Table could meet the growing consumer demand for clean-label and functional nutrition products. The brand's focus on whole-food ingredients and its avoidance of artificial additives align with current wellness trends, which increasingly favor simplicity and transparency. By participating in ECRM, The Harvest Table aims to forge relationships with retailers who share these values, potentially expanding its distribution beyond online channels to physical stores.
The ECRM session represents a strategic opportunity for The Harvest Table to differentiate itself in a competitive market. With its strong emphasis on ingredient integrity and its vertically integrated manufacturing, the brand is well-positioned to appeal to retailers looking for reliable suppliers of premium wellness products. As the company continues its international expansion, its participation in this event could significantly enhance its visibility and accessibility to U.S. consumers, furthering its mission to make good health both accessible and convenient.
