CHFA NOW Founders Series | jackandannies
Jack & Annie’s began in 2011, when Annie Ryu was working in rural India as a medical student. There she discovered jackfruit, a nutritious and abundant crop that many farmers struggled to sell. Annie saw both the potential of the fruit and the opportunity to support the families who grew it. That spark became the beginning of a company built to create better futures for farmers while offering a delicious new way to eat.
Today, the team partners with thousands of farming families, helping them earn a reliable income from jackfruit. With every tree grown, farmers gain financial stability and the planet benefits from more carbon being captured in the soil and air.
For consumers, the focus remains simple: real food made from real plants. Jackfruit is always the first ingredient, and the products are crafted to taste familiar and satisfying, from meatballs and tenders to carnitas and breakfast patties.
Now reaching more households across North America every year, Jack & Annie’s continues to grow with one mission at its core: to create food that is good for people, good for farmers, and good for the planet.

CHFA NOW Founders Series | jerkdogs_canada
The story of Jerk Dogs began in the summer of 2016, when Sean Burgess was barbecuing jerk chicken and hot dogs for his family. Surrounded by the aroma of sizzling meat, he wondered what would happen if the bold flavors of Jamaican jerk could be combined with a Canadian classic.
With encouragement from his family, he began experimenting with recipes, determined to capture the heat and flavour of jerk seasoning in a chicken weiner that his family would love.
After countless trials, Jerk Dogs was born. Made with high-quality chicken and seasoned with authentic Jamaican jerk spices, the fully cooked chicken weiners are produced in Canada with no fillers, soy, or gluten, and are certified halal.
Available in mild and spicy varieties, Jerk Dogs bring cultural fusion to the table, honouring Jamaican heritage while meeting the needs of modern families who want cleaner ingredients and adventurous flavours.
