We love local and we love what we do.

Supporting and empowering local food and beverage businesses is our mission because we know the incredible positive impact it has on our communities, food security, economy, and environment.

Our friends at LOCO BC conducted a study that found local businesses:

  • Recirculate up to 4.6 times more revenue in the local economy than multinationals
  • Recirculate up to $63 of every $100 in revenue in the local economy, compared to $14 for multinationals
  • Produce up to 8.4 times more jobs & up to 8.1 times more revenue than multinationals
  • Spend up to 31.4% of their revenue on B.C. products & services
  • Donate up to 24 times more per dollar of revenue to local charities than multinationals

We're in the business of people

“Andrea helped connect me with the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture and Food to support our launch with Fraser Health via GFS. Our one-on-one sessions also pushed me into looking at our brand as a category captain. This program connected me with peers that are facing similar challenges in our industry. Andrea provided great feedback and suggested things that we need to start looking at as a company. She also helped connect us with individuals in the industry."

“What a joy it was to be a part of The Lunch Room! The program offered immense value by providing practical tools as well as industry-specific insights from professionals who generously shared their expertise with our group. The support I received throughout the program significantly bolstered my ability to navigate a particularly challenging period in our business. I am sincerely grateful to Andrea, Meghan, Breanne, and all my peers for their contributions to this enriching experience!"

“Andrea and her team at Good to Grow provided incredible support, from the business planning to product development to the process of launching; making it an ideal place for me to showcase my products and receive valuable feedback. Working with Andrea and Daphne has been fantastic in bringing Santé Delights to life. I highly recommend Good to Grow for product development and preparation for tradeshows like From the Ground Up."
