Meet the Plant Project-eers

In the past, the Plant Project has helped get a vegan food truck rolling, funded the creation of edible soup dishes, and helped other plant-based ideas get up and running. Check out our Plant Project-eers —and their planet-saving ideas!

Susgrainable
If there’s one thing Marc Wandler can’t stand, it’s waste – Money, time, or natural resources! It was this passion that drove him to start Susgrainable, a circular economy business that crafts super delish and easy-to-make plant-based baking mixes that feature rescued grains from the craft brewing industry. With the support of the Plant Project, Marc is excited to redesign his packaging and extend the brand’s marketing campaigns to help introduce more plant-based consumers to his brand.

Choose Life Foods
Carolyn Simon from Choose Life Foods who, when transitioning to a plant-based diet, noticed a lack of Caribbean plant-based options in the grocery store. Growing up loving Jamaican patties, she took it upon herself to make the change and offer a ready-to-eat, all-natural, and delish-as-heck vegan option. Carolyn has been able to secure listings at health food stores, including Whole Foods Market, and with the support of the Plant Project, she’s able to scale her business and enlist a new co-manufacturer that can keep up with demand.

Honey's Ice Cream
Entrepreneur Ashley Wittig is no stranger to plant-based businesses – as a co-founder of the successful plant-based bakery Bunner’s in Toronto, Ashley has always been passionate about making exceptional plant-based food to convince people it’s actually quite easy (and super delish) to find options you don’t need to compromise on! After leaving the bakery business in 2018, she decided to chase her dreams of creating a deliciously rich, creamy line of plant-based ice creams and opened up Honey’s in 2020 – A premium plant-based ice cream shop named after the adorable pup she rescued! With the support of the Plant Project, Ashley plans to expand her offerings, opening up a second location in Toronto’s East end and lease a freezer van to help expand the brand’s wholesale offerings!

Eggcitables
Plant-based idea: When it comes to a chickpea-based vegan egg alternative, Eggcitables really cracked it. Eggcitables is a chickpea-based, vegan and allergen-free egg alternative that is delish as-heck and accessible to all. The brand launched in 2018 as an expression of Hannah’s personal drive for both social and environmental change.
 
“I have suffered from anaphylactic food allergies my entire life. As you can imagine, my mom had quite a challenge trying to feed me in rural Nova Scotia in the 1990s. But as I grew up, the rise in plant-based eating resulted in a multitude of new vegan and allergy-friendly products. Every time I discovered a new product I could eat, it brought me so much joy. But I began to question: Why hasn’t someone created a plant-based egg? So, I launched Eggcitables – a chickpea-based alternative to eggs,” – Hannah, founder
