Benjamin Feagin Jr. grew up in a small town in Ontario. His family struggled to afford food, and he saw first-hand how the combination of high prices for produce and short growing seasons often led to a less healthy diet.
"My parents would constantly be complaining about how they just bought something yesterday and it’s already bad," he said. "And then we end up having to have something like macaroni and cheese for dinner, when they really wanted to have a salad with their dinner that day."
In 2021, Feagin — who is a scientist and engineer by background — returned to his hometown of Dryden, Ont., to be closer to his family and saw the same complaints were still being voiced on social media and throughout the community.
