We love to highlight the great things that our LEAF certified members are doing both in the kitchen and in the community. Check out these updates from a few of our members, and then go taste them!
PURPLE PASTRY CHEF
Chantal Zimmer, owner of The Purple Pastry Chef in Calgary, has been a LEAF member since 2012. In the past year, she has expanded her business further into the vegan community. Their products are now sold at Hearts Choices Cafe and store. Half of Chantal’s custom orders are lactose-free or vegan as well!
HEARTY CATERING
Hearty Catering, in North York, Ontario, has had a busy year undergoing a brand refresh. They have a new logo and a brand new website! They also achieved the FeastON certification, a criteria based certification that recognizes businesses committed to showcasing Ontario produce and products. The team at Hearty Catering continues their involvement in the community, and held their first innaugural Soup and Socks campaign this winter, delivering tasty and wholesome vegan soups and clean, unused socks to men and women’s shelters, partnering with local suppliers to start this new community outreach program. Check out Hearty Catering on their website, or one of the local Farmer’s Markets they attend.
OPEN RANGE
We featured the great improvements made by Alberta Ennest and the Open Range team last September, but they were kind enough to send us some photos of some of the incredible new menu items they’re serving up. Book your reservation here!
