Upcycling Produce. Uplifting People.
Goodly Foods was started in 2019 by two leaders who wanted to solve the problem of perishable food produce going to waste.
Goodly Foods provides a full range of tasty culinary creations –like chicken orzo or spicy corn chowder or beef mushroom barley soup – by celebrated Vancouver Chef, Karen Barnaby, created from surplus produce and other wholesome ingredients.
Goodly’s product is carried by online and grocery retailers including Whole Foods Market and Walmart throughout the provinces of B.C, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba while also proudly serving in several public institutions including health care environments and post-secondary food services.
Social and environmental impact is always central at Goodly: we make healthy food, employ people through inclusive hiring practices, pay a living wage & reduce food waste.
That all adds up to a whole lot of good! For every 1000 liters of Goodly Hearty Tomato Soup we make, we generate over 100 employment hours and repurpose up to 1000 kilograms of produce, averting over 450 kilograms of CO2 emission.
Here’s what we’ve accomplished so far
Locally Sourced. Locally Produced.
All Goodly food is lovingly made from surplus produce provided by wholesalers and farmers in our local region. We take those too-big, too-small, or slightly-flawed vegetables that may not look perfect, but make perfectly good soups, stews and other healthy meals.
With a modest but growing production facility in Vancouver, we’re proud to be a HACCP-certified food processor, adhering to the highest industry and food safety standards. Thanks to great people, great recipes, and a whole lot of heart, we’re making tasty new foods for people everywhere to enjoy.
