Aunt Sybil’s Caribbean Flavors: Sharing the Taste of the Islands Across Ontario
Aunt Sybil’s Caribbean Flavors Ltd. (ASCF) is bringing the warmth, richness, and authenticity of Caribbean cuisine to homes across Ontario—one frozen entrée at a time. Founded on cherished family recipes passed down from matriarch Aunt Sybil herself, the company offers a line of delicious, ready-to-enjoy meals that stay true to their roots while meeting the needs of today’s busy households.
With savoury options like jerk chicken, curry chicken, and rice and peas, ASCF meals deliver the bold, comforting flavours that tourists return to the Caribbean for year after year. These aren’t just meals—they’re a cultural experience made accessible from the convenience of your freezer. By combining traditional techniques with modern manufacturing, ASCF’s second-generation founders have successfully brought the Caribbean kitchen to a Canadian table, offering a product that is both nostalgic and new.
Aunt Sybil’s is a catalyst for community growth, economic development, and cultural connection. As the business expands its reach across Ontario, it is actively creating new job opportunities in various sectors, including food manufacturing, logistics, customer service, and marketing. With an emphasis on inclusive hiring, ASCF is building a diverse workforce that reflects the vibrant communities it serves.
This expansion will also inject much-needed capital into local economies by supporting small retailers, especially "ma and pa" stores, and working with local suppliers to manufacture and distribute their growing product line. By doing so, ASCF is helping to keep dollars circulating within Ontario, contributing to a more resilient and community-centred food economy.
Says founder Dennis Green, “The support from the Fair Finance Fund will be instrumental in helping us achieve our goals — from expanding, marketing efforts and inventory to enhancing our website and bringing on additional team support. This funding will also contribute to the broader mission of strengthening Ontario's regional food system.”
Culturally, Aunt Sybil’s serves as a proud ambassador of Caribbean culinary heritage, sharing bold flavours, family stories, and a unique food perspective with a broader audience. Through every meal sold, the company is sparking curiosity, appreciation, and connection across cultures, strengthening Ontario’s reputation as a province where global food traditions are celebrated and shared.
The Fair Finance Fund is proud to support Aunt Sybil’s Caribbean Flavors with flexible, values-aligned financing that will power their next phase of growth. The loan will enable the company to expand its production capacity, increase distribution to new markets, and enhance brand visibility through targeted outreach. This financial support ensures ASCF can scale responsibly while staying true to its mission of improving family lives through better, healthier, and more flavourful meals—made with love, and made to share.
