FuelFoods: A True Pandemic Business Driven by Passion and Purpose
In a world turned upside down by the pandemic, I, along with my fellow lifelong vegetarian and recent biohacker, embarked on an extraordinary journey. I'm Jada, and the other half of this sibling duo is Jamal. Together, we founded FuelFoods.
Before 2020, I was busy building my own digital marketing agency, while Jamal worked as an insurance broker, helping seniors access quality healthcare. However, when the pandemic struck, both of our businesses suffered setbacks. Witnessing the devastating impact of pre-existing conditions and the lack of overall health, especially in communities of color, filled us with a deep sense of urgency.
In the fall of 2020, a door opened, leading us to the fascinating world of indoor farming. Our curiosity was piqued when we discovered the incredible potential of microgreens—these tiny plants boasted up to 40 times more nutrition than their fully grown counterparts. Inspired by this discovery and driven by our desire to make a difference, we embarked on a journey to convert our modest 285-square-foot garage into a thriving indoor farm.
Our mission was clear: to combat the chronic disease epidemic plaguing America. With rigorous research and countless trial runs, we honed our skills and transformed our garage into a fully functioning indoor farm. Today, we feel fortunate to supply our nutrient-rich microgreens to several neighborhoods across NYC, partnering with esteemed restaurants and grocery stores.
We take immense pride in knowing that thousands of New Yorkers now have access to our fresh produce. FuelFoods has become a symbol of health and empowerment, providing individuals with the opportunity to nourish their bodies with nature's finest offerings.
Join us on this transformative journey. Together, let's fuel our bodies, elevate our communities, and make a lasting impact on the health and well-being of all.
