Following the experience gained in managing two successful markets and making significant contributions that lead to the development of an agency focused on providing services to small businesses and emerging entrepreneurs in Far East Russia, Natalia made a decision to begin a new life journey in Canada, specifically Alberta. Her knowledge and commitment to entrepreneurship carried on and saw her become a key member of a consultancy that focused on providing services to small businesses located in Rural Alberta.

After four years serving the small business community and seeing the need to provide farmers and specialty growers an improved way of bringing their products to market, Natalia decided to begin her efforts to develop a new privately owned indoor farmers market in Edmonton. Her efforts resulted in the opening of the Bountiful Market, Edmonton’s first multi-day market. Bountiful has become “home” to 100 plus independent entrepreneurs. Like many businesses the Market has had to remain innovative and proactive in addressing the many challenges that COVID has and continues to have on the business community as a whole.
