Manolo's Best
 |
Food |
Manolo’s Best Farmstand Chili and Soups was founded by Mitch Wolinsky, also known as Chef Manolo, in 2010. After a personal health scare, he sought to create healthy, nutritious, and delicious vegan chili and soups that are gluten-free and soy-free. His journey began with a quest for better plant-based food options, leading to the development of recipes that cater to those with food allergies. The brand has grown significantly, now available in over 60 Whole Foods stores across seven states, and is committed to supporting the local community and veterans. |

Stellar Eats

Food |
From a young age, our founding female team noticed that we were inundated with damaging messages that told us the purpose of eating nourishing foods was to look a certain way. We felt overwhelmed by the healthy products being marketed to us as 'skinny', 'guilt-free', 'flat-tummy' or other words that make healthy eating all about how you look. This focus on appearance is so detrimental to the impressionable young population. We want to change the conversation around health food to make it empowering as opposed to guilt-driven and we believe there’s an opportunity for brands like us to rewrite this damaging narrative. We’re creating delicious flavour and perfect texture using 8 (or less) real food ingredients because we want you to enjoy your favourite foods and feel amazing. |

Afia began as a little black recipe book in Syria. Our journey from there, to a farmers’ market in Austin, TX, and now to stores across the nation, has been driven by our love of traditional Mediterranean food. It’s this love that inspired us to infuse the flavors of our first home with modern flavors that appeal to our new one. “Afia!” is a toast “to one’s health and well-being” and a reminder to brighten your table, and uplift those around it. That’s why we make authentic food from scratch in Austin, Texas that nourishes the body and the community – all at once. We're on a mission to make food powerful and elevate refugees and families in need at every step of the way. Since 2020, we've proudly donated more than 300,000 falafel and kibbeh to the hungry in our community, while on a personal mission to employ refugees and grow their education. |

Heartbeat Hot Sauce Co. was founded in 2015. A hobby of making hot sauce for ourselves at home quickly ignited into a full fledged production company after word of mouth spread throughout our home town of Thunder Bay and beyond.

We ferment our peppers using traditional methods before we cook them with a few simple, high quality ingredients. We add no water, thickening agents or chemical preservatives of any kind making our sauce as natural as it gets. All of our recipes are proudly developed, cooked, bottled, packaged, and distributed from our dedicated facility in the South Core of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. Our goal is to get Heartbeat Hot Sauce in to as many hands as possible, while maintaining our small batch process. A thank you from all of us at Heartbeat for your amazing support!
