Sourced with care from the world's finest growing regions.
Marshall Trading Company specializes in a focused portfolio of premium commodities. Our expertise lies not in breadth, but in depth — we know our products intimately, from seed to shipment, and we deliver with the consistency that leading manufacturers demand.
Our flagship commodity. Marshall Trading sources premium conventional flax seed from both the Canadian prairies and Argentina, providing year-round supply security for manufacturers. Canadian flax is prized for its high omega-3 content and clean growing conditions, while Argentine flax offers counter-seasonal availability and competitive pricing. We handle both golden and brown varieties, tailored to customer specifications for oil content, purity, and moisture levels.
Certified organic brown flax is one of our core specialties. We work directly with organic growers across the Canadian prairies to source OBF that meets the strictest organic certification standards — including USDA Organic and Canada Organic. Our organic supply chain is fully traceable from field to delivery, providing the documentation and assurance that health food manufacturers require. Demand for organic flax continues to grow, and our established grower relationships ensure reliable access to this premium commodity.
Beyond flax, Marshall Trading handles a curated selection of specialty grains for manufacturers with specific formulation needs. Our specialty grain portfolio is driven by customer demand — we source what our partners need, leveraging our international network and deep knowledge of grain markets to deliver consistent quality at competitive prices. Whether it's a niche variety for a new product line or a bulk specialty grain for an established formulation, we have the sourcing capability to deliver.
Two hemispheres, one standard of quality.
Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Alberta form the backbone of our domestic sourcing. The Canadian prairies produce some of the world's finest flax — clean, high in omega-3 fatty acids, and grown in conditions that naturally limit pest pressure. Our relationships with prairie growers and cooperatives span decades, giving us priority access to premium lots and early-season commitments.
Argentina is one of the world's leading flax-producing nations, and our South American sourcing network provides critical counter-seasonal supply. When Canadian harvest is months away, Argentine flax ensures our customers never face supply gaps. We work with established Argentine exporters who share our commitment to quality and reliability.
Built for the long haul.
Marshall Trading Company maintains long-term supply partnerships with leading North American health food manufacturers. Our customers rely on us for consistent quality, reliable logistics, and the kind of market intelligence that only comes from decades in the trade. We don't chase spot transactions — we build supply relationships that endure.
"Our partners don't just buy commodities from us — they trust us with their supply chain."
Whether you need a reliable flax supplier, are exploring organic sourcing options, or want to discuss specialty grain requirements, we're ready to have that conversation.
