Mindful FÜD, run by Venessa Stonehouse, makes Bee Mindful Hunnie using juice and vinegar from apples that would otherwise go to waste instead of using bees. It offers the consistency and taste of honey while protecting bees and the environment.

The company won the Going Green category of Canada Post’s Tales of Triumph contest, which celebrates stories of small businesses. As well as the prize money, Mindful FÜD will get shipping credits, promotion across Canada Post digital channels, and will feature in national and regional marketing campaigns.

Success from struggle

                            Demand for plant-based honey is growing   Mindful FÜD

Stonehouse began using apples to make vegan honey after her original Mindful FÜD site burnt down in 2021. In the wake of the tragedy, she spent time visiting a friend, whose neighbour had an unused apple orchard.

Bee Mindful Hunnie was born a few short months later. Stonehouse has since added a hot version to the range. Her products are now stocked in 250 stores across Canada and used in several restaurants.

“I’m incredibly honoured to have Mindful FÜD recognized in the Going Green category for Canada Post’s Tales of Triumph Contest,” Stonehouse told Plant Based News. “This win is a testament to the hard work, passion, and belief that sustainability, innovation, and deliciousness can coexist. Our mission has always been about creating real change -reducing food waste, protecting bees, and offering plant-based alternatives that don’t harm the environment. By giving bees a break, we’re helping preserve their vital role in our ecosystem.”
