Small Ingredients, Big Impact
Welcome to Canadian Spice Organics — where clean eating meets prairie soil, and where a nutritionist and an ex-farmer set out to bring more honesty, freshness, and local pride into the world of spices.
We’re Mia & Sagar, the founders behind CanSpice.
We’re a small, proudly Canadian company built in Calgary, shaped by our community, and inspired by the organic farms around us.
At the heart of our work is a simple belief:
Small Ingredients, Big Impact reflects what we believe: small ingredients are never truly small. From the spices you use to the small choices you make daily, the little things have the biggest influence on your health and wellbeing.
And clean, organic spices should be the standard — not the exception.
Our mission is to offer spices that are pure, transparent, and rooted in local agriculture — bringing better flavour, better quality, and better food choices into Canadian homes.
Before we talk about the business, we want to introduce the people behind it and the values that guide everything we do.
MIA BOIKOVA
Co-founder & Certified Nutritionist
Mia brings the health and local-food heart of CanSpice. She believes that food is medicine, that local ingredients matter more than anything, and that clean, organic spices should be accessible to every household. Her passion for wellness and local agriculture is what shapes the purpose behind the brand.
SAGAR KOTHIYA
Co-Founder & Former Farmer
Sagar represents the quality and agricultural backbone of CanSpice. With a farming background and deep respect for sustainable practices, he ensures that everything we use is grown responsibly, sourced with integrity, and aligned with the highest certification standards. His commitment to honest, well-grown ingredients anchors the brand.
How It All Started
CanSpice began long before the business existed — in two very different careers that kept circling back to the same problem.
As a nutritionist, Mia saw something no one really talked about: most spices on the market weren’t nearly as clean, fresh, or transparent as people assumed. A simple pinch of turmeric or oregano could be packed with pesticides, fillers, or processing methods that didn’t belong anywhere near a healthy kitchen.
At the same time, Sagar came from the world of farming, where he saw how ingredients should be grown — slowly, sustainably, and with respect for the soil. He knew the difference real organic agriculture makes, not just in flavour but in integrity, and how rarely Canadian-grown herbs were found on store shelves.
When our two perspectives came together, the idea formed naturally:
What if Canada had its own herbs — grown close to home, without long transport, additives, or compromises, and naturally fresher and more flavourful because they never travelled across the world to reach your kitchen?
And what if those herbs could be truly organic from farm to jar — clean, transparent, and grown with the same care as any whole food?
We started small — sourcing herbs directly from an Alberta organic farmer, packing everything by hand, and testing blends in our own kitchen. And once we tasted those local herbs for the first time, everything changed. The freshness, the colour, the aroma — local grows differently. Local tastes like nothing else.
What began as a personal passion for clean, real ingredients quickly became the foundation of CanSpice, and the beginning of our mission to raise the standard for spices in Canada.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to make clean, organic spices an everyday staple — not a luxury. We believe every Canadian household deserves access to ingredients that are pure, transparent, and grown with care.
We’re committed to building a future where Canadian-grown herbs are no longer rare, but a natural part of every kitchen. By sourcing locally whenever possible and supporting the farmers who steward our land, we help strengthen Canadian agriculture while bringing fresher, more flavourful spices to your table.
At CanSpice, quality isn’t an upgrade — it’s the starting point. Our mission is to nourish people with real ingredients, uplift the farmers who grow them, and raise the standard for what spices should be in Canada.
