Dave, Meaghan and I formed Backed By Bees because we care about the people and land that enable our local drinks and food. With a transparent line from farmer to beekeeper to meadmaker we strive to know our ingredients keeping them as close to nature as possible. It allows us to be able to confidently talk about the mead, honey and the farm goods we grow, create or source. We can ensure we are being good stewards of the land for my kids and all of our future generations to enjoy. And we try to have a little fun along the way.

The “little blessings” indicate our enzymes are alive, thriving and of exceptional quality. If found, the baby SCOBY is safe to consume. Strain if desired. Anytime is Kombucha time! Cathy’s Kombucha, naturally, for life!
Chiamigos is an instant chia seed pudding. All you need to do is grab a mug and add some water. How did we come up with this? So glad you asked!
The first chia seed was planted in 2016, while living our professional lives between Singapore and Canada. Accessing ready-to-eat, minimally processed, organic food was nearly impossible. So inspired the cultivation of our plant-based power breakfast. We made them for ourselves at first, mixing simple ingredients like nuts and seeds with a smooth coconut base. This went on for a while; in the morning, after a workout, before bed. Needless to say, our relationship with Chia strengthened. We began refining the formula and exploring possibilities that would allow us to bring this work-of-art into every aspect of our life. So, we boosted the protein and took out the water. Can we just say, what a difference!
Now we have a powerful super food for your pocket. A product packed with nutrients that you need for any adventure. Whether you’re on a plane or hiking the Grand Canyon, all you need is a little water and you’re good to go!
