Our story with logos
It all began with an idea … making Polish food without meat or animal products. Our founder Darlene has dealt with lifetime chronic illnesses and has developed food intolerances due to the illnesses. At one time in her life, she couldn’t eat anything but green vegetable juices which lasted almost six months! The juices helped her to heal at the time and that started her journey with plant-based foods in 2010. She wanted to share her idea and craft then decided to launch a business. It was risky, firstly because of her illnesses, she wasn’t sure if she would be able to perform and second most people (at the time) thought plant-based polish food?!? The traditionalists thought she was crazy but then she found the Vegan community in WNY who welcomed her with open arms. It was something she originally created so she could eat safely, then it was a hobby that turned into an obsession that then turned into therapy helping her heal not only from some illnesses but from grief and loss of a loved one, her oldest brother. The making of the pierogi dough was her therapy and still is!
She originally called it Healing Pierogi. This is our story with logos.
