S H O P H O P Honey Bee Vegan Meals & Treats Downtown Windsor Farmers’ Market 519 995-9577 www.facebook.com/honeybeeveganmeals June 2015 What is Honey Bee Vegan Meals & Treats and why should our readers be excited? Honey Bee Vegan Meals & Treats is currently a home-based catering business geared to those on the go who are looking for healthy meals or fresh baked goods but don’t have the time needed to prepare them. We are also currently part of the Downtown Windsor Farmer’s Market where we sell many of our baked goods as well as hearty salads. Everything is made from scratch (including the salad dressings) so there are no preservatives added. Everything is Vegan Friendly and we are currently working on some gluten free as well as diabetic-friendly dessert items (two of our three salads as well as many of our dinner items are gluten free already). We aim to provide the highest quality food and desserts while keeping our prices reasonable. How is it different from the competition? Honey Bee Vegan Meals & Treats is different from the competition in that our menu is fully vegan and would consider our meals and treats to be vegan comfort food. Why did you choose the downtown market. as the location? We’re currently located at the Downtown Windsor Farmer’s Market, located in Charles Clark Square, as a trial basis to see how our products fare in Windsor before opening a café of our own. Downtown is the best location as it is central to the entire city and most people will make it down to the market at least once during the twenty week season. We have been very well received and are very excited to continue working towards our goal of opening a café. Does the name have a story behind it? Honey Bee is the Greek meaning for my first name and, though I am not Greek, I have always been fond of the meaning. Emphasis on the bee and not the honey as none of our products contain honey in them whatsoever.
