Fresh Finds for September
September is bringing a fresh lineup of new finds to Amaranth! From local favourites and small-batch treats to wellness essentials, pantry staples, and refreshing drinks, there are plenty of new products to discover this month.
We’re especially excited to highlight several Alberta-made brands alongside thoughtfully selected products designed to bring a little something new to your everyday routine.
St Francis Herb Farm
Two new herbal tinctures from St. Francis Herb Farm are now available, both offering traditional herbal support for women’s wellness. Cycle Support is a thoughtfully formulated blend designed to support menstrual regularity and help relieve PMS symptoms, while Shatavari is an adaptogenic herb traditionally used in Ayurveda to support women’s hormonal health, energy, stamina, and resilience during times of stress.
Both formulas draw on the traditional uses of herbs to support balance, vitality, and overall well-being.

Pinocchio Ice Cream
Is a family-run Alberta brand with roots going back to 1981, when founder Tom’s father began making ice cream in Edmonton after studying gelato-making in Italy. Tom later carried on the family tradition, creating rich, small-batch flavours inspired by classic European techniques.
The lineup includes Royal Vanilla made with Madagascar vanilla, Belgian Chocolate with a rich blend of milk and dark chocolate flavours, and Sicilian Pistachio made with imported Italian pistachio paste and naturally coloured with plant chlorophyll.
Lovely Ice Cream & Treats
Lovely Ice Cream & Treats is a Canmore-based company known for fresh, small-batch ice cream made with high-quality ingredients. We’re especially excited to be the first retailer in Calgary to carry the brand, bringing a taste of the Bow Valley a little closer to home.
Handcrafted in small batches, Lovely has become a local favourite for creative flavours and rich, freshly made ice cream.
