Chia Sisters
 |
Beverages |
Chia Sisters was founded in 2012 by sisters Chloe and Florence Van Dyke in Nelson, New Zealand. The brand began with Chloe's quest to create a natural drink using chia seeds, which led to extensive research and the development of a unique hydration technology for chia seeds. The sisters aim to produce delicious, all-natural drinks that support health and sustainability, and they have achieved significant milestones in their journey, including becoming New Zealand's first solar-powered juicery and achieving B Corp certification. |

Jess's Underground Kitchen
 |
Frozen Meals |
Jess's Underground Kitchen came to life around my kitchen table. A friend was devouring one of my weeknight dinners and made a flippant comment: “I’d love to pay you to cook my meals during the week.” It seemed like an interesting challenge! We’ve come a long way since JUK’s first Thai green chicken curry back in February 2013, when customers used to pick up from the pink house in Ponsonby. It grew organically, by word of mouth... a delicious secret club. It didn’t take long to realise that there was a gap in the market for freshly cooked, healthy convenience food. I never set out to fill it; I was just cooking the food I’d always cooked. My week night dinners, but for hundreds instead of one. |
