Our Story...
Our names are Mike and Dawn Fletcher and we live in Stratford Ontario Canada. In December of 2017, while puttering around our kitchen, we happened to watch a few movies on Netflix that completely changed the way we viewed our health and the food that we eat! To the total amazement of our friends and family, we instantly became 100% plant based people! Those early days were an adjust
ment to say the least, but little did we know that this day was just the beginning of a whole new life for us…
There are 4 main reasons why someone would adopt a Whole Foods Plant Based lifestyle...
1-for their Health
2-to protect the Environment
3-to save Animals lives
4-to save $ on the grocery bill
The specific reason isn’t important. Combined, in the first 150 days, we shed more than 75lbs... and had no concerns with osteoarthritis, high cholesterol or pre-diabetes! We looked better. We slept better. We felt better. IT WORKED FOR US... AND IT STILL DOES TO THIS DAY! Let’s explain WHY we started this page and what we hoped to accomplish. We blame our friends completely! It was our friends on Facebook that saw pictures of the yummy foods we were creating and asked us to create some “ready to eat” meals for them. Since we already have a Board of Health approved kitchen in our home, we felt it was a logical next step…
In March of 2020 we had about 138 followers and we were having fun sharing with friends...
Well… WE ALL KNOW what happened then… BANG… COVID19. Dawn’s “Pretty Cakes” home based cake company was shut down and we both decided to stay home together and ride the Pandemic out safely in Stratford. Since we already had the BOH approved kitchen, we made a few adjustments and began promoting our PB&R dishes for sale with delivery by emailing a menu to anyone who wanted it each week! Honestly… we thought it might last a few months and then we would “see” how it went, and go from there. Today… as we celebrate our 5TH year in business (March 24th 2025)
We have had quite an adventure! We have created & sold more than 30 000 individual dishes…
We have hundreds and hundreds of clients in our database…
We have donated thousands and thousands of $$ to Cedar Row Farm Sanctuary though our 50/50 delivery fee and donations! We have met the most wonderful people (vegan and just experimenting), and we are so grateful for the blessings of spending our days making food for so many and “feeding people” during these unique times! To our clients… WE LOVE YOU GUYS! If you are NEW to us… please read on to discover HOW our system works. It is still “just the 2 of us” in the PB&R Kitchen (from shopping for supplies to delivery to your door) and we do the best we can to make the greatest amount of delicious Plant Based & Ready food each week. Here is how it works...
1. Read over the weekly menu (posted each Monday) and decide if you would like to try something… (ALL current info is in the menu post... delivery area, cooking instructions etc) Some items have limited quantities available, so please REFRESH your page, as we will be marking items as they sell out
2. MESSAGE YOUR ORDER to us here OR connect with us via text at 519 503 0086
3. We will contact you with your $ total. We prefer e-transfer to [email protected] but we can take cash too.
4. We will deliver to your door (delivery fee of $5.00/$10.00 or more depending on how far you are from us) on Fridays or Saturdays or you can arrange a porch pick up from us in Stratford! 50% of the delivery fee is always donated to Cedar Row Farm Sanctuary outside of St Mary’s That’s it! Thanks for reading. We hope you hop on the Fletcher train for a bit and see if this is the sort of thing that WORKS FOR YOU!
~Mike and Dawn Fletcher!
