A Word From Our Founder, Ian Walker

Hi, I’m Ian Walker, Founder of Hippie Snacks. Since 1996, we’ve been on a mission to reinvent snacking by using sustainably sourced real food ingredients while also delivering incredible taste. We started by being any early certified organic manufacturing pioneer in the late 1990s and have evolved into a company that develops and manufactures innovative and tasty snacks while keeping our core values and purpose in mind. We love making food ourselves and bringing better for you options to the masses. Plus we know that no matter how good for you or the planet a food product is, it doesn’t matter unless it tastes great!

At our core, we believe in…

When food is made right, it does more than just taste good—it makes a difference. We’re picky about our ingredients, choosing what’s best for you, the farmers, the community, and the planet because being good people means making good choices.

We believe in keeping it real and honest with you. From choosing top-quality ingredients to crafting our snacks, we stick to principles that reflect who we are: good people making good food you can trust.

Our sustainability practices

At Hippie Snacks, we view our business through green-coloured glasses. We understand that sustainability isn’t an end goal, it’s a long game that calls for continuous learning, action and improvement.

Community Initiatives

To us, community engagement and sustainability are a big deal. We’re big believers that businesses should positively impact society, which is why we allocate a minimum of 5% of our annual profits to causes we care about. We support environment and youth-focused community projects that are paving the path for a brighter tomorrow, and have teamed up with organizations like the Take A Hike Foundation and the Nature Conservancy of Canada. To encourage our employees to spread kindness, we give everyone three paid days off per year to volunteer for their community cause of choice. We also make sure to show some love to our local food banks, like Quest and Friends in Need, because we believe everyone deserves access to good, nutritious food.
