We're Saucy Stories, an East African-inspired artisan food brand based in Abbotsford. We make freeze-dried Kulfi Bites (Mango, Pistachio Saffron, White Chocolate). Our current freeze-dry facility is temporarily down for equipment repairs, and we have a major trade show in a few weeks that we need production ready for - so we're looking to move quickly on a backup or ongoing partner.
What we need:
- Freeze-dry capability for a dairy-based dessert product (kulfi)
- Able to take on a small-to-mid batch run on short notice (this time)
- BC-based or reasonably close to Abbotsford/Fraser Valley
- Food-safety certified and set up for co-packing
If you run a facility like this, have capacity in the next couple of weeks, or know someone who does - please reach out. Happy to jump on a call right away and share full product specs. Really appreciate any leads, even indirect ones.
Thank you!

Hi Nalish, have you connected with Vancouver Freeze Dry? Langley based. They already do dairy products for export. 1-604-625-0855 https://vfdfoodsupply.com/ Hope this helps!
Hi YODLers,
Bumping this back to the top. We have a BC member looking for the following:
- Freeze-dry capability for a dairy-based dessert product (kulfi)
- Able to take on a small-to-mid batch run on short notice (this time)
- BC-based or reasonably close to Abbotsford/Fraser Valley
- Food-safety certified and set up for co-packing
If you can help (or know of anyone who can help), reply to this post or reach out to Nalish directly.
[Also, now that I have your attention, have a lovely long weekend.]
Hi Nalish, I forwarded your request to another BC-based freeze dried food brand in the event they have capacity or know of other leads. Will share any leads with you!
Hello Nalish - try reaching out to NOVEM. They are Kelowna based and not in the Fraser Valley. Also a member of CFIN.

Thank you, Danna, for the info and contact details for Ryan Bernath. I will reach out to him. :)
Hi Lindsay,
Thank you for suggesting Vancouver Freeze Dry. I actually reached out to them a few weeks ago, but their minimum volume requirements are much larger than what I currently need. In the meantime, my search continues. Thanks again!
