Shop > Our Producers > Yeshi Dressing
What started as a conversation at home in Mill Bay is now a favourite at farmers markets and grocery stores around BC and Alberta. Yeshi is a nutritional yeast-based dressing that's fit for gluten free and vegetarian diets. Slightly sweet and creamy, it has the subtle flavours of garlic blended with tangy and nutty undertones, you’ll find there's a Yeshi flavour for every dish!
How did it all start?
Barbara is a wonderful cook and she has such a great palate; she can pick out subtle flavours that I have no idea about. She found this incredibly tasty salad dressing that I kept putting on everything. Everytime we were heading out to a restaurant I would remind her, ‘Barbara, don’t forget the dressing’. We would bring our own dressing because we were tired of the same choices...ranch, Italian or the ever present balsamic oil and vinegar. I also have a food allergy so we are pretty conscious of what we put in our bodies.
This went on for a while and when our kids left home for school we realized how much free time we had on our hands. We looked at each other and said, "it's quiet around here, we need a hobby." I said, "we should sell that dressing!" I’m an entrepreneurial spirit, and I have had a few businesses, but I have always wanted to start something that we could do together. Barbara had said no to most of my ideas, but the more I talked about this one the more she liked the idea. Our friends who had tried it, loved it. At work people would always ask for us to bring them some. So we got kind of excited and we agreed, "Let's do it!". After that, we were off to the races, we were both so excited to have something to do besides sit in front of the TV.
We started testing different recipe versions and getting our friends to be our testers. Yeshi Chili. Yeshi Ginger and Sesame. Our friends loved them, our co-workers loved them, so we started taking Yeshi to our local Farmer's Markets. The response was overwhelming. I can’t tell you how many times people have told us they put the dressing on everything! So now we have ventured into retail!
Our friends and community have been so supportive and are so excited for us. We feel inspired and blessed every time someone comes up to us and tells us they love our dressings and what new dish they have tried it with. We hope people will have fun, and find their own ways to use Yeshi and most of all enjoy eating it as much as we have building our business.
Try it on everything!

Thank you for checking out our products! Below is a list of products we carry - typically you will see "featured products" right away that we have on special, and then a category tree on the side to browse specific products. If you're not logged in yet, clicking "add to order" will cause you to be redirected to a login screen - we require that you setup a customer profile before you can actually order. Once you've setup a customer profile, you can easily add items to either your current week order or your "recurring items" order using the delivery options dropdown - here is a quick overview:
Please take the time to read this, it will make your ordering experience more fun!
- Choosing "one time only" tells the system a couple of things:
- If you already have an order generated for the current week (based on your recurring order) then choosing this option will tell the system you'd like the product this week. (of course, this assumes your delivery date hasn't passed already, and that your cut-off time for order changes hasn't passed already)
How do you tell if you have a current order for this week? When you click view/edit my order tab, you will see the products and table rows either have a white background (current week order) or a green background (recurring order items) - or it will say you have no order at all. The other way to easily tell is the header in the products listing on your order page will either say "Current order for 10/12/08" or it will say "Recurring order".
- If your delivery date has already passed this week, or your cut-off time for editing orders has passed, then choosing this option will add the item to your recurring order. The item will show up on your next week order, and then be dropped automatically from the recurring items you'd like to receive.
- If you already have an order generated for the current week (based on your recurring order) then choosing this option will tell the system you'd like the product this week. (of course, this assumes your delivery date hasn't passed already, and that your cut-off time for order changes hasn't passed already)
- Choosing "every week" tells the system:
- If you already have a current week order, that you'd like to add it to both the current week, and the recurring order items so that you continue to receive the product each week.
- If you do not have a current week order, or your order date or cut-off time has already passed, it simply adds it to your recurring order to be generated the next week, and will remain in your recurring order each week until you take it out.
- Choosing "every other week odd" or even (the current week is highlighted), will tell the system:
- If you already have a current week order, that you'd like to add it to both the current week, and the recurring order items so that you continue to receive the product on the week of your choosing.
- If you do not have a current week order, or your order date or cut-off time has already passed, it simply adds it to your recurring order to be generated the next week (depending on if next week is odd or even of course), and will remain in your recurring order until you take it out.
- Choosing "once per month" option will tell the system:
- If you already have a current week order, that you'd like to add it to both the current week, and the recurring order items so that you continue to receive the product once per month (on the first delivery of each month you will receive the product).
- If you do not have a current week order, or your order date or cut-off time has already passed, it simply adds it to your recurring order to be generated the next week (depending on if next week is the first order for you of the month), and will remain in your recurring order until you take it out.
When you click "add to order" you will get a confirmation that the item was added to your order - you can view the order summary at any time by clicking the "view/edit" order tab. Happy ordering!
