VegHeads for home-delivered produce
There are a variety of food delivery programs in the Ottawa area, but VegHeads is a small home-grown Rockland example that started out as a group of moms sharing the cost of feeding their families that grew.
Founder Michelle Dooley moved to Rockland about five years ago, but a career transition from schoolteacher to a home-based business sourcing fresh, healthy food wasn’t a long shot, she says.
“What actually put me through university was working for Rochon Garden (in Edwards, Ont.) from about the time I was 15 years old to 21. I helped start their strawberry field and worked at their market stall and at the farm for many years. I kind of had a feel for the business that way,” she says.
Today, over the course of Friday and Saturday, Dooley collects produce and delivers dozens of VegHeads food boxes with fruit and vegetables to customers in Rockland, Clarence Creek, Wendover, Cheney, Embrun and many more locations.
