PROJECT DESCRIPTION/DESCRIPTION DU PROJET:

ZypChicks' wants to both improve and increase our online presence through the development of automated communications and online content for social media and website.

ZypChicks is a small family-led hemp business. We are in the hemp business because it aligns with our values. Hemp is a local superfood -- good for you. Hemp is also a low input crop, sequestering more CO2 than the equivalent forested acreage -- good for the environment. We try to be inclusive foodies, and all our products are gluten free, nut free, nonGMO, and vegan! Along with this, we have a zero-waste manufacturing process and use compostable and recycled packaging. ZypChicks is a company that gives back to the community. This year, we have donated to women's shelters, pet rescues, homeless shelters, food banks, and our current campaign is for Nekem, an indigenous-led organization, helping the houseless and those with mental health issues and addictions. ZypChicks believes in what we do, and we believe in having fun along the way!

About the company

Company
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Food & beverage

ZypChicks promotes local and healthy eating. We began selling hemp in 2015 and have since grown our product line. We sell delicious Alberta grown hemp hearts, flavoured hemp, and incredible natural and flavour-infused hemp oils--all cold pressed and extra virgin. We use a process of cold sedimentation to filter our oils.

ZypChicks believes in leaving as small an ecological footprint as possible, which is why we we promote hemp and support local. We have also started using biodegradable packaging in 2019. We really do care!

All our products are nonGMO and made locally in a commercial kitchen. We use local and organic ingredients in the creation of our products as possible.
