“As the Founder and CEO of Bella Biochar Corporation, the most accurate depiction of my manufacturing journey is “baptism by fire”. As a female, without a mechanical background, in an industry that is typically male oriented, I was catapulted into a steep learning curve trajectory. Furthermore, the challenge of not only being the first “Ontario Made”, Canadian commercial scale manufacturer of organically certified, premium quality biochar, but also maneuvering all of those pioneering challenges through a pandemic, is a testament to the resilience of the incredible Bella Biochar Team.”
“Together, we have managed to tackle every hurdle imaginable and unimaginable, from design errors, mechanical failures, weather constraints, feedstock shortages, feedstock overages, fires, delivery setbacks, financial challenges (Thank you ECO Canada - we literally would not have made it without you!) and personal struggles for team members including Covid and other severe health and family issues. Despite all of that, the Bella Biochar Team has risen to every challenge and succeeded in overcoming our setbacks.”
