Just a family business looking to change the world, one better snack choice at a time.
Our family is passionate about taking care of one another through delicious, healthy food. We created Wise Bites to spread that love to others.
Putting delicious, nutritious baked goods in your purse, lunch bag or backpack is our jam.
Since inclusiveness is also our thing, we work hard to make sure our snacks are free from the top 11 allergens so everyone can partake. You can feel confident sending these to school or setting them out for guests knowing we are certified nut-free, gluten-free, vegan, non-GMO and Kosher!
We always go the extra mile to choose top-quality ingredients that fuel you with energy over the empty fillers contained in other common lunchbox snacks. By using organic quinoa flour, certified gluten-free oat flour, organic coconut oil and natural sugars, for instance, we make baked goods that are lower in refined sugar and higher in protein, minerals and fibre.

THE ALCHEMIST
Deep in the mountains of southeastern British Columbia, a passionate woman is making and celebrating heart-opening nutritious and delicious chocolate surrounded by cedar trees, elk and white swans. Yup, white swans.
Beth Campbell is creating small-batch chocolate magic from her rural home in the Kootenays using superfoods, alternative sweeteners (such as coconut sugar) and mindfully-sourced and fairly-traded cacao. Oh and there’s definitely some serious love mixed in there too.
Beth was drawn into the world of small-batch artisan chocolate after getting frustrated about the lack of options on local store shelves. Although she always had a passion for cooking and baking, she had never made chocolate before. She threw caution to the wind, bought some molds and jumped right into what would become a life-changing endeavour.
She decided to combine her love of alchemy, medicinal ingredients and flavour combinations to bring you chocolate that’s real. Beth also found a way to... More
Twisted Goat started on a journey west across the Rocky Mountains of BC in 2013. We quickly fell in love with its beautiful landscape and the abundance of outdoor adventure. We hiked, biked, skied, kayaked and explored this landscape always enjoying our next journey. We wanted to craft a coffee that was meant for adventure, one that you pack in your backpack, alongside your French Press to enjoy when you’re out exploring. In 2017, we bought a roaster and began the learning process, experimenting with different roasts and blends to create the products we share with you today. We are committed to supporting the farmers who worked hard to grow and harvest the green bean we source for Twisted Goat. All our coffee is 100% Ethically Sourced and roasted in small batches by hand in the Rocky Mountain valley. We invite you to go ahead and try one of our unique coffee blends that boosts your next adventure. It’s a big world out there. Go explore. The Founders Twisted Goat Coffee Roasters More
Our Story
Local roots grow deep… Farming has been in the Dewit family for generations. Brian’s grandparents were local dairy and poultry farmers and his parents, Jack and Joanne Dewit continued the tradition with dairy and hogs in the Fort Langley area. In 1999 the opportunity to expand into growing cranberries became a new direction of farming for the family.
Growing up on a farm, Brian is grateful for his upbringing and the privilege of working alongside his parents. He continues to share this love of the land, continually learning from the experience and seeing the literal “fruits” of his labour. In 2010 we began our own separate cranberry farm, planting 35 acres across the road from the existing family farm and joining the Ocean Spray Cranberry Cooperative. 11 years later, we are still passionate about our cranberries and work hard to grow high quality fruit. A couple years ago, we decided to share our berries directly with our local BC market... More

Meet Kyla King
Kyla King is the owner and operator of Rad Jamz , an Okanagan jam company creating amazing products from jams and jellies to pickles, pies, and more. Rad Jamz is located in West Kelowna, BC.
How did you get into jam making?
I grew up in East Kelowna with my parents and sister. My mom and dad both grew up on farms in Alberta so gardening and preserving was part of our routine every year. We were lucky to live in a part of the world that is so abundant with fresh fruits. I had never even tried store bought jam growing up as we always had my mom’s strawberry freezer jam on hand. Jam, pickled everything, salsa, canned tomatoes, tomato pasta sauce, canned peaches, fresh apple juice… These are just a few things I can think of that we had on hand in our pantry all throughout winter.
What did you do before you started Rad Jamz?
After high school I went straight to Okanagan College to get my Red Seal as a chef. From the start of my career I was very passionate... More

Welcome to Okanagan Pasta Co.
Everything started with Cansu's passion for eating pasta . Each trip we took to a different country or a city, finding the fresh pasta was her number one priority.
The year 2020 proved to us, once again how important life is. Without love and passion, it is tough to enjoy life itself. During the global lockdown, we had the chance to stop and listened to ourselves. Soon we rediscovered our love for cooking again, and pasta was the favourite of all.
Both of us have a Bachelors's degree in Culinary Arts and Management and a College degree in Pastry Arts. We both have over ten years of work experience in the Culinary Industry.
A small community kitchen in Kelowna, BC, paved the way for us to start building our passion slowly but surely. Old kitchen notebooks from our University years had many pasta recipes. However, they needed fine-tuning and adjusting to showcase 100% organic Canadian Durum flour and freshest BC farmed eggs together with the... More
QuantoTech’s vision started through a love of indoor farming forged due to cold winters in Lethbridge, Alberta. QuantoTech was founded by a daughter-father duo who quickly found a strong team of like-minded and experienced individuals with the goal of creating technology that can be used to expand access to fresh food in locations and climates where traditional farming methods are ineffective.
The goal has always been to develop technology that allows for the growth of hyper-fresh and hyper-local produce on any scale. QuantoTech’s highly scalable vertical farming technology allows us to operate a number of micro-farms extremely close to the consumer minimizing the carbon footprint of our farms and the time produce spends travelling. By reducing the time produce spends travelling or in storage, thanks to the help of the DirectFood.Store, we are able to ensure the freshest and highest nutritional value produce available. The QuantoTech team designs the LED lights, hydroponics, climate... More

Great Taste, Less Waste!
Why does tea have to be so wasteful?
In 2016, the average Canadian consumed 264 cups tea . Approximately 94% of those cups used a tea bag . With roughly 37.5 million Canadians today, that amounts to…
