There's a lot of chatter in the natural/organic food space about 'Making ____ Healthy Again'. Of course, we've been proponents of simple, nourishing, sustainably grown foods since we began in 2012. It's a deeply-rooted value of Made with Local, and we've stayed true to these values through our growth from a farmers market table to now thousands of stores across Canada and the US. But here's the thing it seems many people are missing -- you can't have a healthier, more sustainable food system without massive environmental protections, and planning for how our famers can mitigate and adapt to the ever-mounting pressures of climate change. If you're someone who is crusading for a healthier, more transparent food system, please remember that this is not just about removing 'toxins' from the food chain. It starts with preserving soil health, water, clean air and funding for farmers who are working tirelessly to change the system and to regenerate their land 🌎

Being maritimers, the tradition of molasses-y, spiced gingerbread runs deep. Our Gingerbread Real Food Bars have built a cult-following over the years, made with Regenerative Organic oats, Organic honey, Crosby's Molasses from our friends in New Brunswick, pumpkin seeds grown in Ontario, and beautiful organic ginger sourced from Gathering Place Trading in BC. Every one of our bars tells a story, and Gingerbread's is particularly rooted in the warmth and tradition of East Coast holidays 🎄 Find our Gingerbread Bars at select Sobeys and Safeway Canada locations as well as through our Superfans Club subscription online!

Coming in HOT! Our new Protein Cookies have landed on Amazon Canada and they're already making some huge waves 🌊

What pairs incredibly well with a morning ☕ ... Both our Made with Local Real Food Bars and our new line of Protein Nut Butter Cookies 🍪 We are seeing amazing growth at quick serve and grab and go locations, and I have a BIG ask LinkedIn network... Where do you think we should be retailing in this space? I'd love to see your suggestions in the comments or my DMs! ❤️

Little known fact that honey, globally, is one of the most counterfeited food products on the market. And this is an incredible shame, because pure honey is a beautiful, medicinal food. My advice (no surprise) is to get it from farms as close to home as you can - there are literally thousands of wonderful, family-owned apiaries in Canada that are producing 100% authentic honey! Honey for us here at Made with Local is *such* an important ingredient. It adds subtle, natural sweetness to our snacks, gives a really creamy, soft texture, and also acts as a natural preservative! 🤓 If you’ve had a Made with Local bar or protein cookie lately - they’ve been made with Canadian-made, Certified Organic honey from Angela Ysseldyk and our friends at Dutchman's Gold 🐝 🍯
