As part of our company visions and values, we work with our team members who are inspired to make their own products and bring their ideas to market. We recently launched Baba’s Borscht made by one of our team members, Brett. We all fell in love with his unique borscht after tasting it. It is vegetarian, with an emphasis on cabbage and tomatoes. It is inspired by the cooking of the Doukhobor community. Baba’s Borscht is dedicated to bringing hearty and healthy soups to everyone’s table. It is honest food inspired by true entrepreneurs! We are so proud of Brett.

Happy National Entrepreneurs’ Day! Those people who have been working away, getting it done, slowly, carefully and with attention to excellence, improvement and integrity deserve the biggest pats on the back. Those who know how hard it is, know. Those who don't, let me tell you, it is a dark, lonely, stressful, tough road to go down at times, there is no-one who has gone out on a mission and stuck at it for years that has not been into the darkness that is on the road to you...r dreams. So big shout-out to the Keep Goings, good on you for not chasing the easy thing, the new sexy shiny thing, the latest fad, the compromise, the easy road or the shortcuts. Good on your for sticking it out through the tough times, the bad people, the bad weather, the bad moods, the stress, the coffees, the late nights, the competition, the uncertainty and most importantly the mountains of hard, tough work that goes into just keeping things going. - Josh Jones

Did you know the story behind Edmonton’s own The People's Perogy Co.? It was founded in 2015 by Luke and Eva, mother and son duo with a love for traditional Eastern European food. People loved their homemade perogies so much, they decided to take that same 80-year-old family recipe, and bring their perogies to market for all to enjoy. They came up with the name The People’s Perogy because people have always been at the heart of their passion for great food.... These perogies are irresistibly delicious and loved by adults and children alike. We have been having a hard time keeping them in stock as they sell out so fast! Order yours now before they are gone: https://www.uprootfoodstore.ca/collections/peoples-perogy-co. We deliver Alberta wide!

Food should create happiness. But not all food is created equally. We like to know what is going into our bodies, where it came from, and who made it. And we like when it tastes really really good.... But grocery shelves are filled with food designed for profits. Not people. For great products made by great people, we have farmers markets. But farmers markets don’t always fit into everyday life. People deserve the food they want, when and where they want it. Food producers deserve to be connected with people who want their products. That’s why Uproot exists.
