Irina and Sergiy moved to Beautiful British Columbia from Kyiv, Ukraine in 2012. Irina liked to bake and was armed with Masters in Restaurant Management. Sergiy liked to eat and brought MBA to the table. And in 2014 couple started Solodko Bakery (Now Kozak Food Group).
Started small. Renting out tables at the bakeries at night and selling at local farmers market next morning kind of small.
First farmers market was at Steveston and shortly couple (and couple part-timers) started working at most Farmers Markets from Whistler to Steveston to Langley.
In mid-2015 Irina and Sergiy opened first brick-and-mortar location, slowly adding different Ukrainian dishes to the pipeline. Couple combined homemade-style cooking with its focus on ingredients & affordability and professional cooking with its processes & techniques.
