About Shea Butter Market
Shea Butter Market's certified organic shea butter comes from the edge of the Sahara Desert in West Africa where pure shea butter has been used for over 2,000 years. Pure African Shea Butter softens, moisturizes and heals skin damaged by the heat and sun. Ancient African wisdom knew that Shea Butter kept skin healthy and young. Modern science tells us that Pure African Shea Butter is filled with fatty acids to stimulate skin renewal; tocopherols to give shea butter natural antioxidant properties; and cinnamic acid to provide UV protection. Using pure unrefined raw Shea Butter produced by the Kperisi village of northern Ghana, Africa we are able to achieve our goal of operating a business that benefits everyone; the women who make the shea butter, the natural environment and the people who use the product.

Guatemala 62% Dark Milk Chocolate - Wallace Craft Chocolate (60g)
This chocolate bar ventures beyond the milk chocolate norm, with far more cocoa than most other milk chocolates. Pairing our single origin Guatemala cacao beans with local British Columbia whole milk dairy, we present to you a bold and rich fusion of near and far.
We are proud to offer our single-origin chocolate as a transparently traded product through our supply partner Uncommon Cacao. This means that you, as a consumer, can verify the prices paid along the supply chain, ensuring cacao farmers, and everyone else, are paid honestly, openly, and fairly.
Guatemala 62% Dark Milk Chocolate bar is made using cacao ethically sourced from ADIOESMAC.
Tasting notes: Orange Peel → Toasted Almond → Oreo Cookie
Ingredients
Organic Cocoa Beans, Organic Cane Sugar, Whole milk powder
Contains: Dairy
May contain: Peanuts and tree NutsLearn About ADIOESMAC
The Association of Integrated Development “OX EEK” Santa Maria Cahabón (ADIOESMAC), founded in 2004, cultivates and sells cacao, cardamom, cinnamon, and chili peppers.
Perched on a mountaintop overlooking the extensive jungled hills of the Cahabón region, the association processes cacao using cascading wooden fermentation boxes and a combination of greenhouse dryers, raised bamboo decks, and drying patios.
Adioesmac has been exporting fine cacao since the early 2000’s. Their cacao beans are distinctively large compared to nearly any other beans you will ever see, and have been whimsically referred to as ‘potato beans’ as a result (referring to their size, and thankfully not their flavour!).
The association plants more cacao trees every year, most of which are planted to reforest areas that had been cleared for the production of “milpa” (or corn) and bean production.
Adioesmac is a Wallace Craft Chocolate single origin supplier, with these beans representing the Central American region of cacao production.
About Wallace Craft Chocolate
Wallace Craft Chocolate is a small batch bean-to-bar chocolate company from Victoria, BC, Canada. We make the best tasting stone-ground chocolates and confections using 100% transparently traded chocolate from our single-origin sources. Our Founder, Mark Wallace, has spent the better part of the last decade across Africa, working to help farmers produce high-quality cocoa and sell their cocoa beans to specialty chocolate makers so they could make a better living wage. Upon returning to Canada, he maintained his relationship with cocoa producers, and now buys beans directly from these farmers for a good price. Wallace Craft Chocolate has a deep connection to the West Coast, using combining local ingredients with interesting cocoa beans for exquisite and interesting flavour combinations. We strive to uphold the highest standards in transparency, integrity, and sustainability in everything we do.

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!

Tortilla Chips - MaiiZ
DescriptionA higher quality tortilla made with Stone Ground Certified Organic Corn, grown in Armstrong BC, using Chef Israel Alvarez Molina’s technique, inspired in the traditional Mesoamerican Nixtamalization process.
Unlike the majority of tortillas in North America, MAiiZ Tortillas use corn kernels to make fresh Nixtamal Masa Dough instead of factory produced powdered mixes. This Nixtamalization process maintains the nutritional integrity increasing the body’s ability to absorb those nutrients and preserves the flavour in the tortilla.
MAiiZ Nixtamal Tortillas have a flavour, aroma, texture and an elasticity that is lost when using masa that has been dried into flour. Our Tortillas feel and taste better.
It’s more than just authentic
IngredientsBC Organic Corn, Calcium Hydroxide (Slaked Lime), Water.
About MaiiZ
Chef Israel Alvarez Molina hails from Mexico City where Nixtamal Tortillas are essential to the cuisine, culture, and spirit. A reverence for the skillset, knowledge, and respect required to make high-quality, delicious Nixtamal Tortillas from scratch was instilled in him while he worked at Pujol where he rose to the position of Chef de Cuisine. His love for all that Nixtamal Masa provides has, of course, been in his heart forever.
It is this love that he carried with him when he moved to Canada in 2008 that inspired him to start MAiiZ Nixtamal Tortilleria. Chef Israel finds immense joy in making MAiiZ Nixtamal Tortillas in the heart of Victoria’s Chinatown with Organic BC Corn. His hope is that everyone, from the curious home-chef to those like him that grew up with Nixtamal and miss it dearly, will love MAiiZ Tortillas as much as he does.
Nixtamalization is an ancient process by which the dry corn is cooked with slake lime to break down the husk surrounding each kernel. This process allows the human body to properly digest corn while also imbuing it with accessible calcium. Even better, the nixtamalized corn can then be ground into FRESH Nixtamal Masa which makes delicious, pliant, beautiful tortillas that even the finest dry corn flour simply can’t beat..We're Restocking -

About Wize Tea
Driven by health, inspired by innovation, motivated by impact
When Max went to France for school in 2012, he overdosed on coffee during finals season and was ordered by his doctor to quit coffee and switch to tea. He never loved traditional green and black teas, so he started searching for alternatives that would be delicious, healthy, and ultimately sustainable for his body and the planet.
A month later, he and his French classmate Arnaud were starting a new entrepreneurship class project. That first day of class in January 2013, he came across a study about the coffee leaf that proved its strong health benefits, light caffeine, and long history of use as an herbal infusion in Ethiopia and Indonesia. It also became apparent that coffee farms are very seasonal and farmers suffer from extremely volatile market prices and a long off-season where they are trimming off extra leaves but not using them for anything.
They began to ask themselves “why hasn’t anyone tried to craft or ferment the coffee leaves before, like they do in the traditional tea industry?” They had a hunch that they could create very special flavors and varieties if they applied the same tea-style methodology to the coffee leaf.
Together, the two decided that this idea was worth pursuing for their class project.
Global problems call for global collaboration
At the end of the school year, they decided to put theory into practice and flew to Nicaragua to find some coffee farms. The first farmers didn’t even believe them, asking them why they were interested in the leaf to begin with. “It has no value,” farmers would say. Others were curious, but not enough to get involved.
During their search, they kept meeting other coffee importers and buyers. One of their new connections thought the coffee leaf idea was brilliant, and introduced them to Enrique Ferrufino, a third-generation coffee farmer who leads the country in ethics and innovation.
When they brought the idea to Enrique, his eyes lit up with inspiration as he started brainstorming different ways of cultivating, crafting, and ultimately creating a new delicious drink that has the potential to revolutionize the industry for the better.
One year later, Enrique joined Wize as an equal-equity founder and bolstered the team with decades of coffee-growing experience. This team-focused aspect makes Wize vertically integrated from the ground up, and ensures that the farmers and their workers’ have decision-making power for long-term growth and sustainability.
The Wize ethos
We can all be better and do better if we make wize choices. We’re realists; yes, we have a mountain to climb to solve global problems, but with small incremental action from everyone, we can write the future that we want. The pen is in our hands.
Wize is redefining wisdom for the new generation. Acknowledging the negatives, creating the positives, and relishing the challenge instead of shying away from it. Big things have small beginnings, and this is how we choose to live our lives; with purpose.

About Stormy's Rawnola
Stormy's began in 2021 as a food truck based in Chilliwack, BC.

From her own experience she realized that 'when you eat more plants you do the happy dance' and she couldn't wait to help her community do this! She started serving up smoothie bowls that were not only nutritious but also fun and delicious! These bowls were topped with her house-made Rawnola and it was a hit.
Fast forward 14,160 Rawnola Smoothie Bowls later, she knew her Rawnola was a hit. Turns out people love dates as much as she does! She sold it out of the truck at the end of her first season but in 2022 decided to develop an additional new flavour, new packaging and bring it to the retail market for everyone to enjoy!We're Restocking -

About Stormy's Rawnola
Stormy's began in 2021 as a food truck based in Chilliwack, BC.
Being plant-based for many years, our founder, Stormy, felt it was about time to swap from serving tables at pubs to serving healthy food! From her own experience she realized that 'when you eat more plants you do the happy dance' and she couldn't wait to help her community do this! She started serving up smoothie bowls that were not only nutritious but also fun and delicious! These bowls were topped with her house-made Rawnola and it was a hit.
Fast forward 14,160 Rawnola Smoothie Bowls later, she knew her Rawnola was a hit. Turns out people love dates as much as she does! She sold it out of the truck at the end of her first season but in 2022 decided to develop an additional new flavour, new packaging and bring it to the retail market for everyone to enjoy!We're Restocking -

It began on a sunny October day in 2016. Inspired by the shops of Vancouver, LA, and Tokyo, and driven by their love of noodles, Greg and Erin Masuda served the first bowl of authentic, scratch-made ramen that Vancouver Island had ever seen. Six years and 40 flavours later, Nikkei Ramen-ya still bustles; if you can’t make it to our shop in Downtown Courtenay, you can now find our ramen at your local Vancouver Island grocer.
