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

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.

Is that something our fellow Canadians would appreciate?
Amazing! Nice to meet you!

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 π±
A mantra we take very seriously around here π±

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 π«
Starting fresh in a new space always feels daunting and kinda awkward, right?
But hey - here I am, BlueSky!
Iβm Sheena, the founder of a farm-to-table snack foods company in Canada called Made with Local.
Happy to be here with you all π±
Weβve arrived to the BlueSky party β a bit tired and weary, but ready to join a new community.
And weβve brought snacks π
