It all started with our father and his passion

Before we were a company, our father and founder, Dale was a Rocket Scientist meets Free Thinker. His Aerospace degree came from the University of Toronto, but his love for invention started with repairing cars in his dad’s garage. After leaving his job building weapons for American troops in the Vietnam war, Dale pursued his passion for positive craftsmanship by creating small juice presses from his cabin in the wilderness.

“A bathtub in my kitchen was my first test lab.”

-Dale Wettlaufer

WE grew from there

Goodnature was born

Not much has changed since Dale created “The Roadsider” for those farmers back in 1976. We still manufacture all of our products from design to production in Buffalo, NY.

Many of Dale’s inventions have become industry standard, thanks to his commitment to listening to customers’ needs and passion for constantly improving everything we make and everything we do.
