What ReFeed Canada does
ReFeed Canada is a Langley, British Columbia-based circular nutrition company that recovers excess and unused food from produce companies, importers, graders, warehousing facilities, cold storage, and logistics providers, and channels that material through a three-stage Circular Nutrition™ system: redirection of edible food to community partners including the Greater Vancouver Food Bank, conversion of produce trim into livestock feed, and bioconversion of remaining material via proprietary vertical worm beds into worm castings, vermicompost, and other regenerative soil amendments. The vertical worm beds were built in partnership with Salmon Arm-based Idea 64 Manufacturing under a Government of British Columbia Accelerating Manufacturing Scale-Up Grant and incorporate AI-enabled gantry feed systems and digital automation. At full capacity, the facility produces 400,000 kg of worm castings annually from 250,000 kg of food waste and 564,000 kg of dairy manure, with a documented 98% nutrition recovery rate. The company also holds exclusive Canadian distribution rights for Cascadia Seaweed, AGROTEK, and HYDRALOC, distributes Circular Harvest mushroom kits and GreenStreme fish fertilizer, and runs the ReFeed Bounty Box subscription program delivering rescued produce across the BC Lower Mainland.
The business operates three revenue streams: (1) soil amendment and fertilizer product sales (one-time, unit-priced from $4.75 to $3,499.99 CAD) via a Shopify e-commerce storefront and a wholesale portal (mikata.cloud), (2) nutrient recovery and food rescue services for food industry partners (quote-based, multi-year contracts, operating 363 days per year), and (3) subscription-based rescued produce boxes (Bounty Box, $32–$43 per weekly box). Distribution combines direct-to-consumer e-commerce, mid-market wholesale, and direct enterprise sales, with complimentary regenerative farming consultations led by an in-house soil specialist. ReFeed positions itself as a vertically integrated regenerative agriculture platform combining waste services, branded products, third-party distribution, and community-facing social enterprise, supported by partnerships with SFU, UBC, and KPU for agronomic validation through an active 3-year crop trial at Davistead Farm.
