Red Apron is a women-owned, values-driven meal service located in Ottawa, Ontario. Since 2006, we’ve been offering handmade, from-scratch meals using fresh, local, and sustainably sourced ingredients. 

We’re not a restaurant. We’re not a meal kit. We’re something refreshingly different: a place where community care, culinary craftsmanship, and zero-waste systems meet.

Every Red Apron meal supports local farmers, nourishes busy families, and reflects our deep commitment to food that’s joyful, ethical, and rooted in Ottawa.

Fast Facts:

• Co-founded in 2006
• Women-owned and operated
• Eco-friendly kitchen and reusable container program (first of its kind in Ottawa)

FOUNDER BIO

Jennifer Heagle: Co-Founder & Creative Director

Jennifer left a successful career in tech to return to her culinary roots, building Red Apron around care, joy, and community through food. As a mom of two, she knew the time crunch of modern life — and Red Apron was her answer.

Nearly 20 years later, she has grown Red Apron into one of Ottawa’s most beloved food brands, leading with thoughtful sourcing, human-first systems, and feminist values.
