Carrot Bacon is a delicious, all-natural vegan jerky, developed by local entrepreneur Tyler Steeves.
It’s quickly becoming established with recent product launches at major Canadian retailers, winning big at North America’s largest candy and snack show and winning a $20,000 grant from Desjardins. You can try Carrot Bacon locally at Sobeys, Jo Anne’s Place or The Food Shop and watch for it soon at Walmart, London Drugs and Whole Foods West.
