Rad Relish Co. established in 2021 by Garrett Millsap, traces its origins to his grandmother’s zucchini relish recipe. Observing a scarcity of Indigenous-made food products in Canada, Millsap introduced Rad Relish, which has since expanded into a national brand available in local markets, grocery stores, and online. The product line features British Columbia-grown produce and is vegan, gluten-free and available in three flavours—Original, Smoked, and Spicy. The company has recently transitioned to environmentally friendly flex packaging, reducing its carbon footprint.
Garrett, a member of Métis Nation BC and a board member of the Kelowna Métis Association, is committed to supporting and mentoring Indigenous entrepreneurs. His vision includes hiring Indigenous employees and promoting Métis products. Rad Relish, inspired by Métis elder Peggy Millsap’s zucchini recipe, combines unique flavors of turmeric, mustard seed and is made with West Kelowna-grown zucchini.
