Goodly Foods

8383 Crompton Street Vancouver, BC V5L 3V4
604-256-4663

TBA

Goodly Foods takes what others see as imperfect produce and transforms it into delicious, healthy soups, stews, and sauces. By repurposing surplus produce, we're not just reducing food waste, but also crafting nutritious meals that everyone can enjoy.

But our mission goes beyond food. In partnership with HAVE Culinary Training Society, we create supportive employment opportunities. Where many see barriers, we see potential—providing food industry training and jobs that offer a living wage to those who might otherwise face employment challenges.

In January 2019, Goodly Foods began production and distribution of its first product, Hearty Tomato Vegetable Soup, thanks to a generous investment grant from the Walmart Foundation, and the support of our partners along the way. We’ve been proud to work closely with Commissary Connect and HAVE Culinary Training Society to help identify and help train our hard-working production team.

Since then, we’ve become a HACCP certified food processor, launched an extraordinary lineup of new soups, expanded our distribution across the country, and we’re working on more new recipes to be released soon. Most importantly, we’ve turned tons of produce into tasty foods, while creating accessible living-wage jobs in the process.
