Our mission at Hornby Organic is to make affordable organic food without our planet and customers paying the price. Why? Because that’s what our mom taught us to do. Our story began on the incredible gulf island of Hornby, where life is slow, in the best way. It’s home to a special kind of people who are self-reliant and do things a little differently.
Our founder, Irah, grew up in this unique place where in the 70s his grandparents started an organic farm. But, it was Irah’s hard-working mom who we owe a big thank you. Being disconnected from the mainland, a lot of Hornby folk have to create their own opportunity, and Irah’s mom, Trish, is no exception. Our recipe comes from her ever popular Hornby Island Energy Balls, which she spent years perfecting.
At five years old Irah had his first peek into the world of entrepreneurship. He helped his mom load up their old station wagon and deliver their much loved energy balls to health food stores all over Vancouver Island. Years later, Irah saw his own opportunity. What if he could share his mom’s recipe with the rest of the world? The ah-ha moment that sparked Hornby Island Energy Bars!
