WHO ARE WE
First of all, you found us. Fantastic. That wasn’t random. Something led you here. An instinct. A curiosity. A glimpse at potential. Good. That’s how we feel about The Very Good Food Company. We’re gearing up for massive growth and we’d love YOU to be a part of it!
So what’s our story?
Our founders were fed up with the overly-processed meat alternatives available and knew they could raise the bar. As trained chefs with years of experience, they set out to make the most delicious and nutritious plant-based meats they could. A bajillion butchered beans, a Dragon’s Den appearance, 15 new products, and the opening of our first production facility later, we are ready to revolutionize the plant-based industry. We’re on a mission to show the world that making good food choices doesn’t mean sacrificing flavour. We create food that’s Very Good for people, animals and the planet (all while having a TON fun along the way!).
So who works here?
All of us strive to create an environment that reflects our organization’s core values: sustainability, compassion, innovation, harmony, trust, and transparency. We’re a group of forward thinkers. We’re passionate. We do not discriminate. Period. We believe companies should measure and be accountable for their impacts on people and the planet. Our approach is to simply be “more human and less corporate”. We love doing work that matters. We celebrate our wins. And we recognize that we only win as a team.
