A community shaping the future of food

Heja Havre

Heja havre simplifies the stressful everyday with a useful and tasty instant porridge. Perfect for the conscious on-the-go individual. Made on scanian oats. Just add water and we’ll fix the rest!

Problem: Havré is 22 years old, studies OATology at university and dances ballOAT in his spare time. In short, Havré has a lot of things to do and is constantly on-the-go. Havré is sitting on campus studying, he is tired and broke. He suddenly becomes very hungry, what should he do now?

He only has time for something fast, as he will soon have to take the bus to his ballOAT lesson. But at the university café only there are only sweets and cakes, which unfortunately are not vegan. Havré needs a snack that gives him long-lasting energy so he can study longer and go to his dance training. What is he going to do?

Hi Havré! We have got a solution for you! Unhealthy snacks should not limit anyone’s everyday life. We offer a snack that is both good, nutritious and filling. Above all, its fast and you can eat it on-the-go … It’s a vegan instant porridge!

Vision

Heja Havre will, at first, mainly be sold in Skåne (south of Sweden). This is because the company has Skåne as a starting point, but also because we care about the local aspect of our company. We think it is important that a locally produced product is also sold locally. This is to minimize transport and make it as sustainable as possible! Despite this, we at Heja Havre see an opportunity to achieve sales nationally and within Scandinavia in a sustainable way in the future.

Heja Havre’s ambition is to grow large on the oat market and thus Heja Havre is under development and working to scale up production. After carrying out a hand-scaled production, we have learned an incredible amount. Now it’s time for us to become more large-scale, so that we can offer our customers larger volumes and more mushy snacks! We are looking for a contract manufacturer that meets Heja Havre’s requirements as well as our customers’ requirements for durability, packaging, ingredients etc. There for Heja Havre 2.0 will be launched in fall. We are working hard to reach this goal while keeping our standards and product quality.

Within 1 year from launch, our goal is to be available at at least 10 local ICA retailers in Skåne. As well as establishing a collaboration with a large online retailer, eg Mathem, Apotea, Meds etc. We also want to grow in the gym/workout industry, which we hope to be able to do by starting by being present at 3 sports facilities (gyms or similar). We also want to be available at at least 5 cafés in Skåne. Also establish 10 regular corporate customers, who subscribe to a “porridge box” that they receive every month. Finally our goal is to have a functioning E-commerce that can represent Heja Havre and what we stand for!

Within 5 years, we want to develop our range of oat-based products and be able to offer even more good vegan snacks filled with oats. Imagine small oat balls with the natural sweetness from oats, rolled in vegan chocolate. The perfect snack on-the-go and as a Saturday treat! And launch a larger family pack of instant porridge!

The possibilities are endless with oats;)

We also aim to be in 3 chains in the Swedish grocery trade. In addition to this, an on-the-go product must of course be available where people are most on the go. Thus, a goal to establish dealers such as Pressbyrån, 7/11, Statoil etc, is highly relevant. Heja Havre also wants to be available where you travel and thus wishes to be able to enjoy a hotel chain’s breakfast buffet.

Stacky’s

Stacky’s is a reaction to the fact that the food industry seems to be stuck in a never-ending loop to create fake meat. Which is why much of the available plant-based food has become too pricy, filled with additives and doesn’t taste like meat nor good.

Our journey has just begone and there’s a world of flavors to explore. 

& our friends

Step into the world of the natural flavour magicians – where we enrich the world of snacks, treats & delicacies. We live by the faith that you can’t have too many friends! With all their beautiful personalities, friends enrich our lives, just as the abundant flavours we have in this wonderful world. And we love to invite all our friends, regardless of their choice of diet. Therefore, we decided all our products should be natural, and mainly from plants. & our friends as a brand, a belief, and a friend, will display these two defined personality attributes: One. We will only work with natural, organic, and primary focus on plant ingredients. Within our range, there are a few delicacies suitable for vegan friends, other for vegetarian friends, some for friends that exclude gluten or dairy, and almost all for any other friend. Why? Because the future should be honest, real, and heavily focused on what our plants can provide for a better world, oat to hemp and seaweed and beyond. You can say we like land, sea and..bees! Two. They will not contain any stuff that really shouldn’t be there. No artificial flavouring or unnatural preservatives. Neither suspiciously pumped-up ingredients nor phoney colourings. Why? We do not need to stuff our bodies with more things that are good for us – there are too many hidden ingredients that complicate things for us. And real friends do not complicate things in your life – right? So then, natural plant-based delicacies, snacks, and treats? Sounds pretty delicious! Yea, it is!

Delicacies should be for everyone – all over the world!

Vision

Delicacies should be for everyone – all over the world!. We envisage & our friends to be enjoyed anywhere globally, as having friends all over the world is the ever best!

Cirkulär

Cheese production is tremendously resource-inefficient. For every kilogram of cheese produced, the cheesemaker must process 10 liters of milk. The reason for this is that cheese is effectively a milk concentrate, whereby liquids are removed, and milk protein and fat is concentrated and formed into a curd. Consider then the fact that around 45% of all milk produced globally is used for cheese production and the massive impact of cheese on the environment becomes obvious.

Cirkulär AB will be a new player in the value chain of the dairy industry, providing a complementary raw material for dairy processing – microbially produced milk proteins for a more resource-efficient industry.
