This isn’t just a meal—it’s a lifeline.
For nearly two years, I’ve been bootstrapping Eke Foods on my government salary (not a Trust Fund baby - LOL), a dream, and a lot of grit, while raising three daughters, caring for my mom, and working on a PhD. What started as a way to share my Nigerian roots with my girls has slowly grown into something real.
We now have two of our products, our Hibiscus Drink and Fonio Pancake & Waffle Mix, on shelves in all four Weaver Street Market locations, and grocery chains are starting to reach out. It’s time to scale.
So this summer, I’m offering something special: the Eke Foods Summer Meal Box.
It feeds 3–5 people for just $45. You get a full rice meal (packed in a deep foil pan) made with our Jollof Sauce, plus chicken, plantains, and vegetables, and two (12 oz) bottles of our refreshing Hibiscus Drink. Yes, what a deal!
Every box sold helps us:
Buy more inventory
Improve our website and digital presence
Push into new markets
Build momentum for our Kickstarter launching in August
We’ll have limited weekly offers (with two delivery days-10 orders per day), so sign-ups fill up quickly.
Whether you’ve been following us from the start or just found us, thank you. If you believe in what we’re building, please order for yourself or your loved ones, donate a box (we’ll make sure it goes to a family in need), and/or share this with your network.
This is how we would like to grow: humble beginnings, powered by our community's support, sustained by grit, and guided by my faith in God and humanity.
Love, from Ada
Hi! I’m Ada. I live in Chapel Hill, work at UNC-CH, a mom of three, a PhD student, and the founder of Eke Foods.
With the support of my daughters and my mom, we’ve grown this food business from our kitchen table to a commercial kitchen space in Hillsborough! Our mission is simple: to share our heritage through food that connects people to culture, community, and bold flavor.
Last year, I was honored to be named Chapel Hill’s Black Excellence Person of the Year. I stay deeply involved in our community, volunteering at food banks, serving as an ESL tutor, teaching catechism, and starting cultural events like the African Heritage Mass at St. Thomas More and Africa Fest at UNC Chapel Hill.
This year, I’m inviting you to please help Eke Foods grow.
