💡✨ Have you ever done a SWOT Analysis of your business? It’s like taking a snapshot of where you stand and what challenges or opportunities lie ahead. Whether you’re in start-up, growth, or succession mode, a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) Analysis is a simple yet powerful tool to guide your strategy. 📊 Here’s why it works: ➡️ It helps you prioritize what needs attention for short- and long-term success. ➡️ You can leverage your strengths, address weaknesses, and prepare for external threats. ➡️ It’s a great team exercise! Employees, vendors, or even customers can provide fresh insights. 🔍 Ready to dive in? Start brainstorming each category, then refine your findings into actionable goals. Whether it’s growing your market share, launching a new product, or planning succession, a SWOT Analysis sets you up for success. Want help with your SWOT? We’re here for you—email us at hello@farmfooddrink.ca🌱📈

🌟 Meet Sheena: The Coordinator Extraordinaire! 🌟 Sheena is the glue that holds all things Farm Food Drink together! From coordinating campaigns and projects to liaising with clients, government, and industry players, she’s the master of ensuring everyone is on the same page—and heading to the right field. 🌾 Known for her incredible communication skills, Sheena thrives on collaborating with strong personalities (both human and feathered—more on that later 🦜). Her motivation? Helping clients bring their stories to life and turning visions into reality. 🎯 When she’s not expertly managing all the details for our team, Sheena indulges in a few loves of her own: 🌿 Nature exploring (always ready for an adventure). 🍵 Green tea (her go-to fuel). 🦜 A screaming parrot (don’t worry—he’s cute, so he gets a pass). We’re so lucky to have Sheena keeping us on track and making the magic happen every day! 💫 Say hi to Sheena in the comments! . . . #farmfooddrink #meettheteam #marketing #coordinator #marketingteam

🌟 After a year of hard work, countless iterations, and a lot of learning, I’m so excited to finally introduce BLUENOSE Probiotics https://lnkd.in/ejKUrEnX! 🌟 This journey started with a personal mission: to create a healthier, dairy-free, sugar-free alternative to traditional probiotic drinks like lassi. Inspired by my own experience with dietary sensitivities, I wanted to craft something that not only supports gut health but also tastes amazing. And tomorrow is a big day—I’ll be showcasing BLUENOSE Probiotics for the very first time! 🎉 I’ll have my first booth at ISANS-IWEN's Women's Winter Market, where I’ll also be offering samples and gathering feedback to improve the product and better understand what customers want. 📅 When: Tomorrow, 3-6 PM 📍 Where: ISANS Mumford Building, 6960 Mumford Road, Suite 2120, Second Floor (near the stairs and seating area) This moment feels surreal after a year of dreaming, experimenting, and refining. Thank you to Varvara Satanina (NRC-IRAP), Chelsea M. (Perennia), Linda Peers, BA (The Cultured Coconut), (Barbara M. Campbell (Natural Products Canada) Trudy Richardson (CEED), Julia Pelton (ACOA - APECA), Dwayne Boudreau (Food and Beverage Atlantic), Heidi Jul Taulborg (BioFoodTech), Tribe Network, Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia, Omaira Ospino and Hector Fraser (Invest NS), Shelley Hessian (Springboard Atlantic Inc.), Lana Larder, PARO Centre For Women's Enterprise, Tamasha Fernando (Center for Women in Business-MSVU), Heather Nicole & Bonnie Chomica (Farm Food Drink) who have supported me along the way—I couldn’t have done this without you! If you’re in the area, please drop by, try a sample, and share your thoughts. Here’s to better gut health and exciting new beginnings! 💚 #BLUENOSEProbiotics #SmallBusinessJourney #GutHealth #HealthyLiving #ProbioticBeverages #WomenInBusiness #LocalMarkets

Start with one. Just one workshop. My goal for 2024: One Workshop. It all began with a single workshop on Food Product Shelf Life for the BC Food & Beverage Founders Peer Group. By December, 12 sessions delivered virtually and in-person, working alongside organizations and accelerators such as: Farm Food Drink Food in Canada magazine Indigenous Seafood Business Accelerator (Debra Hellbach) Yukonstruct Society Building a food processing business is extremely challenging. Alongside these organizations, I'm here to continually provide you with resources, mentorship and support to grow and scale. Follow for updates and announcements on what’s in store for the new year! 🤩 Sneak peek into the new learning resource page, Growth Hub by BC Food & Beverage
