Plant Ahead

Saint-Lonard, QC

Plant Ahead is a natural products brand from Saint-Lonard, QC with 17 products on Beacon Discovery, mostly refrigerated cheese & plant based cheese and refrigerated salsas & dips. 8 are Certified Vegan, and its range is distributed by Other.

In 2022, we fell in love with plant based dairy alternatives. In essence they're perfect, a cruelty free and sustainable solution for today's food climate. And then, in 2022 (3 days later), after trying all the 'alternatives', we realized that although we stood with the values of the products, we couldn't quite get behind the taste. We questioned whether we could have both or if life was just an endless game of compromise - on our ethics or on our food. Could we create something that obliterated the compromise? Could we create something that added value and didn't just oversaturate an already overpopulated market? Could we innovate? Today, we know what we didn't in 2022, that the answer to all these questions is a resounding yes. We call ourselves Plant Ahead because we are ahead in every sense. Constantly expanding with new, never before seen products, exceeding expectations of taste and texture, all while being cruelty-free, sustainable and accessible to folks with a wide range of diets. Here's the deal: show us a brand that does all that and more and we'll rebrand to Plant In-line.
