Purpose
The short abundant season of the boreal zone pushed our ancestors to use dehydration to preserve their harvest surplus in order to continue eating the fruit of the land all year round. Drawing on their example, we seek to reduce the contemporary problem of systemic food waste in Canada by reducing it at the source through the dehydration of harvest surplus, as well as by popularizing the use of dehydrated local produce through complete, easy-to-cook meal kits.
After five years working on the development of Lufa Farms, Jonathan Dumas founded Dunord to address a key need in his life: quick and affordable meal solutions that don't compromise on his environmental values or nutritional needs. His passion for local food also led him to include at least one wild ingredient from Quebec in every recipe. Driven by the need for concrete solutions to food waste and the nutritional needs of his community, he is guiding Dunord toward a future where local farm surplus is preserved, and new recipes are created based on the abundance of our ecosystem.
