Happy new year friends!! Indulge me as I jump in here on a personal note. 2018 was a big year, personally and professionally. While Joya has been in the works for some time now, it’s seen some pivots and change, and this past summer my vision became a reality with our Toronto soft launch. New friends welcomed us with love and fuelled our excitement, old friends our #1 cheerleaders, each member of our Joya family tackling every adventure & challenge with so much energy and dedication — and everyone validating all of the hard work and passion that has gone into bringing Joya to life. Words can’t describe the immense gratitude that I feel for everything that has unfolded this year and everyone who has been part of this journey.
So much has been learned in these early days, and as the year of our official launch, I couldn’t be more excited for what 2019 has in store! We’re bringing you more inspiring articles and mouth-watering recipes on The Joya Life, our new e-commerce website (we’re coming at you too US friends!), and most importantly, our decadent, nourishing elixirs, teas & chocolates.
Thank you for choosing to include us in your lives. For sharing our space on The Joya Life (thejoyalife.ca), for visiting us week after week at the markets, for your support, feedback, engagement and spreading the love and joy… it means the world. I can’t wait to feed you and nourish you, body, mind & soul. Thank you for sticking around… I promise it will have been worth the wait 🍫🍵🍄🌿🥥❤️ Here’s to the year ahead and all of the adventures it may bring! With love, Ruth 🙏💕 @chef.ruthy
