Our Innovative Business Model

A COMMUNITY-FIRST COMPANY

When our founder Sheena created Made with Local, she not only was determined to create a snack that nourished her family, she also knew that business can be used as a force for good and create positive social impact–this meant doing things a little differently...

WE’RE CERTIFIED B CORP & PROUD!

As part of our plan to have social impact, Sheena had a big goal in mind–to become certified B-Corp. Our B-Corp certification means we meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance. And it’s not just a one-time stamp of approval, we’re constantly being challenged by B-Corp to strive for improvement–a challenge we happily accept!

SOCIAL IMPACT, BAKED IN.

We’re baking social impact right into our bars through our partnership with organizations like The Flower Cart. They're a social enterprise that hosts employment and training programs for folks in rural Nova Scotia who experience barriers from the mainstream workforce. This partnership creates a positive ripple effect into the community and guarantees that each and every Real Food Bar is handmade, with love.
