Sister River Foods, Parma!

Sister River Foods was founded on the principles that simple, plant-based foods, without additives or preservatives, are the basis for a healthy body, mind and soul. 

Parma!’s founder changed her diet to plant-based after being ill. It was this impetus that brought her to making and loving a version of parmesan that is now Parma!. When she had her first baby, she saw a hole in the market and started bottling her special parmesan cheese, so along with her sweet baby, Parma! was born.

Parma! contains only a handful of ingredients — nothing you can’t pronounce! Here at Sister River Foods our mission is to provide healthy, earth friendly culinary delights, uplift humanity’s consciousness through business, and leave the world a better place than when we found it.

Our pillars are loyalty, truth and service.

Sister River Foods

Sister River was inspired by the Native American story, “The Earth is Our Mother”, and reflects her unrelenting focus on creating a world that works for everyone with grace and ease. Parma! was the first product line manufactured by Sister River Foods and has expanded from Parma! Original to include five more delicious -flavors in two sizes. Two flavors are nut-free: Garlic Basil and Jalapeńo Bacon.

Great Mentors and Growth

Shannon’s friend, mentor and advisor, Founder of Tofurky, Seth Tibbott shares,

“Like Tofurky, Parma! is an authentic, trail blazing brand with deep roots that took hold when the plant-based world was very young. I love that it is a family owned business run by kind, passionate people producing a wholesome vegan food with exceptional flavor”.

It Takes Patience

Our founder has always loved going to health food stores in towns she visits and seeing Parma! there makes it even funner. So be sure to ask your favorite healthy food store to put Parma! on the shelves.  Your favorite moving theaters too — Parma! pumps up popcorn to the next level — and it is healthy.

And Passion

Once our founder went vegan for health reasons, the compassionate reasons came into focus. Care and passion for people, animals and the environment are the driving forces of Sister River Foods and Parma!. We are continually seeking heart-centered decision makers and who want to create a world that works for everyone.

Parma! supports animal rights groups, vegetarian and vegan efforts and peace-making organizations. To learn more, or nominate an organization for support, please complete this donation request.
