About Taco Revolution
Ixim was started as a passion project by Michelle Paez and PJ Frayne out of their small home kitchen on Gabriola Island in 2015. Having returned to Canada from living abroad in South America, they missed the wonderful tortillas and other fresh foods that they had become accustomed to. Searching grocery stores all over Vancouver Island, they couldn't find a corn tortilla that came close to what was commonly available in Mexico. So, they purchased a small tortilla press and started making their own.
Several members in their new Island community heard about the tortillas that PJ and Michelle were making, and invited the couple to set up a booth at the Gabriola Farmer's market. The tortillas were an instant hit, and the passion project quickly turned into a hobby business. Within a year, Ixim Foods Inc was incorporated and was selling tortillas from 4 different farmer's markets around the Island. But tortillas weren't enough. People wanted ready-to-eat tacos! Beginning in the second year, the Taco Revolution food truck was built and put into service. It was a huge hit and quickly attracted a large following. Ixim Foods was no longer a hobby business.
The building of a commissary kitchen quickly followed, and with it an expanded product line. Over the course of the last few years, Taco Revolution has grown to become a highly regarded and recognized brand of Mexican Food products on Vancouver Island. And we continue to grow. -

About Wychbury Ave
In 2011, I biked over 2000 km on a cycling tour with thirteen other women on The Otesha Project to teach communities about environmental sustainability and social justice. After delivering over 30 performances about how to reduce unnecessary plastics in our everyday life and prevent human rights abuses, I wanted to put those solutions into practice and decided to make my own bath and body products with fair trade and ethically sourced ingredients, using only plastic-free and reusable packaging. In 2014, in the middle of a maternity leave from teaching, I transformed my basement into a soap-making studio and joined a community of like-minded individuals who were starting a farmers market.
Starting with tiny batches of only 7 bars at a time, I made, cut and packaged each batch myself, printing my own labels and learning the ins and outs of business as I went. I found a used bicycle trailer, and started towing my entire market setup back and forth to the Esquimalt Farmers Market each Thursday, began stocking local shops in Victoria with my soaps, and I’m now selling from my online shop at www.wychburyave.com, and at over 12 retailers on Vancouver Island. My dream began as a mission to show others how to enjoy the products we love while reducing waste and caring for people and the planet at the same time. I continue to provide vegan, palm oil-free, and fair trade products through my shop and educate others through workshops and daily insights on social media. Come join me!

Premium Western Red Cedar Cooking Wraps - BC Coastal Grilling Planks (10Pk)
Our cooking wraps are made from clear vertical grain western red cedar lumber, sliced into veneer and chopped into 6”L x 6”W pieces.
There are 10 Wraps per package that include 10 lengths of cotton butchers twine for tying.
They are made for single use only and work well in the oven as well as on the barbeque. In the oven, we suggest placing the prepared wraps on a cookie sheet. On the barbeque just put them directly on the grill.
How to
Submerge and pre-soak your wraps for 5 – 10 minutes. (Depends on how flexible the wrap is. Some wraps are very pliable and will only require minimum soaking; others are more brittle and will definitely need the extra soaking time.)
Once soaked, place the food along the grain of the wrap and simply roll the wrap keeping wrap tight enough to secure the food inside. Secure the wrap with cotton butcher’s twine (which I soak along with the wraps) or tie off the wrap with soaked strips of corn husks, green onion stems or even Lemongrass.
Place the wraps on a preheated barbeque (around 400) or in the oven (middle rack) and cook for 5-8 minutes. Cooking time will be quick. The wraps are very thin and so the water you’ve soaked them in will cook out of the wrap quickly. Prawns, Scallops, Veggies and thinly sliced Salmon, Whitefish or Meats will work well (anything that cooks quickly).
Wraps infuse a subtle cedar flavour and create a wonderful visual presentation when served directly on the plates. We recommend using our Seafood Rub that is included in the Wrap Pkgs w/Seafood Rub for a fantastic flavour.
You can make 30 Wrappetizers out of the package of 10 by using scissors to cut the wraps into 2” strips and rolled as shown below.About BC Coastal Grilling Planks
