Awareness of the growing problem of food waste has been on the rise lately, so we’re excited to bring you the story behind another business that’s helping to solve this issue. The Pretty Ugly company saves tomatoes that are still good enough to eat— but not perfect enough for store shelves—and transforms them into some darn tasty salsas. The perfect pairing? Their line of tortilla chips, made with spent grain from breweries. Co-founder Lysanne Bourret shares how this Montreal-based company went from an idea to a successful coast-to-coast business.

Carrying on the family business of traditional bread making started by their father, Olivier, is the brother and sister team of Solal and Thais Audibert who run Olivier’s Breads (Olivier’s La Boulangerie) in Coquitlam. These delicious breads have come to be a favourite at Pomme, enjoyed for not only their taste, but the fact that all their products are made with as few ingredients as possible and nothing artificial. Olivier’s daughter Thais tells us how it all started with her father back in France.

We’re delighted to bring you our interview with Gina Arsens, founder and CEO of Vancouver company Yumasoy, maker of OmNoms—those amazingly flavourful, wholesome and scrumptious plant-based meat alternatives. OmNoms was created to help make it easy and convenient to eat a plant-based diet, without giving up taste or compromising your standards for healthy ingredients. With flavours like Mediterranean, Teriyaki, Thai Yellow Curry, and Original (so you can get creative with your own seasonings), your taste buds will be very satisfied. Read on to hear how it all began.

The start of a new calendar year is often a time for reevaluating our routines and setting goals, particularly as it comes on the heels of the (well-deserved) indulgences of the holiday season. It’s all well and good to make plans for a fresh start and a reset if you feel motivated to do so, but implementing too many changes at once, in the depth of winter, might not be a recipe for long-term success. Instead, consider a seasonal approach, aligning shifts in your routines with the cycles of nature.

Supporting local, sustainable farms is a principle we share with this month’s featured Meet the Maker, Desiree Lyver, founder of Hornby Island Tea. She wanted to start a business that would support practices that were good for both our planet and our bodies, and crafting herbal tea blends with local herbs fit this model perfectly. Hornby Island teas are blended in Fanny Bay on Vancouver Island with locally-grown herbs from Hornby Island, along with tea carefully selected from sustainably sourced family-run farms in India and South Africa for unique flavour profiles with health benefits.
