Our Story

In early 2019, a group of 30 youth and young adults in Calgary met downtown and set out to plan what the future of food in Calgary could look like. After meeting with experts and hearing from youth in Calgary, 5 young adults bonded over the lack of accessibility around local food, primarily for people who find themselves eating outside of the house. So we created EasyGreens, a company focused on delivering healthy and nutritious meals to Calgarians through fridges placed at high-traffic locations. We're committed to see Calgary be a leader in local food accessibility and can't wait for you to try our meals.

Our Ethos

Healthy Citizens, Healthy City

We believe building a healthy city begins by supporting healthy living habits. Together we will build a resilient future city by improving public health, shaping communities health, and by supporting/diversifying the local agribusiness industry.

Accessibility

The foundational goal of EasyGreens is to provide healthy food options for on-the-go busy Calgarians. Our fridge locations are determined by analyzing accessibility and convenience for the greater public.

Local First

We work to locally source as many ingredients as the seasons allow from local farmers and producers. This includes outdoor farms, hydroponic farms, and aquaponics farms. Our menu is customized by the season to maximize local ingredients in our products.

Local Food Education

Through our packaging, website, and social media we strive to educate our customers about the local food system, its environmental, economic, health, and social benefits, all in an effort to build a resilient food system in our city.

Zero Waste

We are committed to becoming a zero waste business within two years of operations. This means using compostable and/or recyclable packaging, food innovation (maximizing produce use), donating unsold food to charity, and composting food scraps in the kitchen. We also encourage you to reuse our food containers in your home (most are microwave and dishwasher safe)!

FAQs

What is the shelf life of the products?

While the shelf life varies from 2-6 days depending on the product, our goal is to rotate our products on a daily basis.
