Watching news of these sweeping Canadian tariffs being announced.

Our heart’s breaking for the thousands of small Canadian businesses who’ll suffer in the coming months 💔

We talk a lot about that too. As a company really rooted in treading gently on the planet, going HAM on AI is counterproductive

This is our granola bar dough fresh out of the mixer — it is SO hard not to grab a nibble because it looks and smells amazing 🤤

Nova Scotian cranberries and chunks of organic dark chocolate in an organic oats, almond butter and honey base 🌱

I have a suggestion for you. In times of trouble and strife, there is therapeutic benefit in being among trees and in physical contact with them. So if you can, go hug a tree today, the bigger the better. This huge old chinkapin oak is known as The Great God Tree.

Given the threat of a looming trade war, some friends in our industry - small, family-owned companies that own food & bev brands - have been thinking about creating signage for grocery shelves that mark products that are made here in Canada.

Is that something our fellow Canadians would appreciate?

Had the cutest little helper at our granola bar bakery 🥹

Running a family business can feel like a 24/7 experience- but moments like this have me hopeful that our kiddos will look back on it all fondly 🌱

We make these snacks!

I love this photo of our Blueberry Almond Butter bar from this past summer. We were out harvesting wild blueberries in Nova Scotia with our farm partners, the VanDyk family 🫐

Starting fresh in a new space always feels daunting and kinda awkward, right?

But hey - here I am, BlueSky!

I’m Sheena, the founder of a farm-to-table snack foods company in Canada called Made with Local.

Happy to be here with you all 🌱

We’ve arrived to the BlueSky party — a bit tired and weary, but ready to join a new community.

And we’ve brought snacks 😌
