Yeshi is a natural products brand from Cobble Hill, BC with 6 products on Beacon Discovery, mostly shelf stable condiments & dressing & marinade and shelf stable baking ingredients. 2 are Certified Non-GMO, and its range is distributed by UNFI and Other.

Our Yeshi story begins in 2017 with the husband and wife team of Paul and Barbara Kleinschmidt from Mill Bay BC. Paul became aware that he had a severe gluten intolerance but rather than it affecting his gut health it heavily affected his mental health. After doing a ton of research Paul swore off gluten. Barbara then developed a delicious gluten free dressing, and then Yeshi was born. Yeshi was born out of love and our mission is to continue to share gluten free deliciousness with the world! After tasting the dressing, Paul knew that they had something special, so they amped up production and bought a table at the James Bay Farmers Market during the summer of 2017. After selling out constantly and feeling extremely inspired, Paul and Barbara spent $2,500 to convert their garage into a commercial kitchen. After years of doing everything themselves, Paul and Barbara eventually moved into a bigger production facility, brought on a team of Yeshi fans to focus on growth of the brand and as of 2024, we are now in over 1,300 retailers Canada wide. We also started our major entrance into the USA market with launching all 5 SKUs of our salad dressing into the Southern California retail chain Gelson's. By securing this authorization, we were able to onboard with UNFI to start distributing our products all throughout the state. We are extremely excited to continue our growth and support our brand to be the next best thing in the category. Our team is full of the biggest Yeshi fans there are and we are excited to see what the future holds for us!
