Our Story
Axe To Grind Foods brings fresh, aromatic ingredients together to create versatile, high-quality popcorn toppings, fun drink rimmers (both sweet and savoury), and KETO-friendly spice blends—all while making a positive impact in our community. What started as a fundraiser by Cynthia Kennedy for Canada’s Double Bit Axe Throwing Team has grown into a thriving business driven by a love for bold flavours and simple, delicious cooking.
With a background in culinary arts and butchery, we're passionate about helping people "simplify great meals with tasty spice blends." To that end, we build VERSATILITY into every blend. You can enjoy great "off label" use of these blends. i.e. our Dill Pickle Popcorn Topping is a great seasoning for tuna/pasta/potato salads, chicken wings, use as a rimmer for Dill Pickle Martinis or for a Caesar drink! Our Chowder spice is perfect for making an alfredo sauce, beef bourguignon, scalloped potatoes, and so much more!
Beyond taste, we’re committed to social responsibility, partnering with a CFIA-certified co-packer run by a social enterprise to provide employment for individuals facing barriers. Every purchase supports great food and meaningful connections—a win-win!
