About Goodly

Goodly Foods was created from the desire to make good food from surplus natural ingredients and give people with barriers to traditional employment good jobs in the process.

Since then, we have become a HACCP certified food processor, launched an extraordinary lineup of new soups, expanded our distribution across BC and also co-manufactured food products for numerous 3rd party customers.
