Silver Hills Sprouted Bakery bread products, made from organic, Non-GMO Project-verified
ingredients, are for sale in more than 900 Target store locations

"We
regularly hear from many people who gave up bread due to digestive
issues but are able to eat our sprouted bread, giving them a healthy
source of energy," said Stan Smith, co-founder and president of the company, in a media statement. Non-GMO, sprouted whole-grain options can help improve
digestion, nutrition and the absorption of minerals and vitamins, said the company.

The bakery opened in 1989 in the Okanagan Valley.
