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. |

Hillside Harvest
 |
Sauces |
Born in Cypress Hall, a small town high atop the Red Hills of Kingston, Jamaica, Kamaal Jarrett, the Founder of Hillside Harvest, was taught to appreciate the simple things in life. Later, when his parents were deciding where in the United States to establish roots, they settled on Milton, Massachusetts, a small town nestled between Boston and the Great Blue Hill mountain range. Growing up, Kamaal showed an inherent love for food; watching endless hours of PBS cooking shows and spending the summer hours with his Aunt Elaine in her Egleston Square bakery and Caribbean restaurant. As his passion for food grew, so did Kamaal’s appreciation for the two cultures that raised him. Exposing his family to traditional American dishes or cooking authentic Jamaican dishes for his friends became a normal routine. Today, we at Hillside Harvest strive to continue the tradition of introducing people to unique flavors and recipes. Our products are handcrafted. We aim to develop dynamic flavors through simple ingredients and provide you with premium sauces that enhance every dish and inspire you to share with those closest to you. |

Scotch Bonnet Pepper – named after the “Tammie” a bonnet style hat traditionally worn by Scottish men, which the pepper resembles. Scotch Bonnet is ubiquitous throughout the Caribbean and West Africa and prized for its heat and sweet flavor. Bathed in the spirit of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. A family recipe developed by mixologist Karl Franz Williams and inspired by his Grandfather, Uncle Waithley who lived his entire life on the enchanting island of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Uncle Waithley's is dedicated to crafting small batch vintage beers that celebrate the art of brewing. A key advantage of being a small batch company is that our team gets to personally inspect every knob of ginger, root of turmeric, and scotch bonnet bell that passes through our kitchen. We take pride in preserving both a recipe and process that has been passed down with great care. When Karl’s father advised him to rest the ginger beer for a minimum of three days, his words were heeded, resulting in our unique vintage fermentation process. Every time we seal a cap, we ensure the flavor of Uncle Waithley’s gives a little history, personality, and passion in every bottle. At our roots, we are all about “The Vibe”. We believe in the power of a wicked rhythm, lyrics that we can sing out loud with our eyes closed, dance, style, and good company to create a positive, free-spirited atmosphere- a moment. We’re passionate about seeing you express your unique, unfiltered spirit, so we’re here to ask you: “How do you spice up your vibe?” Our deep connection to the vibrant Caribbean culture coupled with traditional mixology techniques allows us to create a truly authentic taste experience. We’re dedicated to keeping our brand entrenched in any and everything Vibe, and we’re always looking for ways to push the boundaries. Proudly Black Owned, Based in Harlem, NYC. |

Sourdough Baking Mixes |
After learning as a young adult that I have Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, I spent years living a totally grain-free, paleo lifestyle. It served me well, but when I discovered the power of sourdough fermentation in 2018 I decided to reintroduce grains back into my life, so long as they were fermented – and to my amazement remained totally symptom free! Our mission at Jesha’s is to help revive sourdough, a wholesome and ancient tradition that has enabled people to thrive off of grains as a primary staple food for thousands of years. |
