Business Profile 2018 s t e t t l e r Page 27 Bringing Amazing Meals Home Any busy person knows that a good, hearty meal can sometimes be hard to come by. That is why the owner of Teresa’s in Donalda came up with the more than perfect solution to this problem. Teresa Kneeland has been surrounded by food her entire life. She was raised on a farm near Donalda where her parents operated a small grain and hog operation. Cows and chickens would often roam about the property as well. A large garden would help feed her relatively large family as money would run tight. As a young girl, she associated food with both happy and sad memories. “I loved the memories, smiles and laughter that form around a shared meal,” said Kneeland. “One of my fondest memories as a child was when the harvest crew would gather in a dusty field to eat. We would sit, eat and laugh. I loved those moments, the togetherness. Many rural folks will tell you the same stories.” Her mother had a job off the farm so it was up to Teresa to start cooking. She was responsible for canning, cooking, and baking as early as 10-years-old. She never pursued post secondary education in foods but still followed her passion, creating unique and colourful dishes that are made of mostly local ingredients. “We use as many local products as we can. We deal a lot with the hutterite colony out here and they’ve been amazing to me. Local butcher shop in Bashaw we deal with as well. We try to source as many local products as we can,” she continued. She was a single mom who was the owner of a grocery store which failed but that failure pointed her in the direction of following her passion for cooking. She dabbled in catering and then worked out of her own kitchen before entering cooking venues. In 2012, she built the building she works out of today. To her, a dish is not just a meal but an experience in and of itself. “I gauge my success on a product through how people talk about it after and if they aren’t saying it’s wonderful and amazing I go back to the drawing board. I make sure I get that reaction and we do. My staff is amazing as well,” said Kneeland. This past year was when the business headed in the direction of frozen meals. They take all main and side dishes from the catering menu and put them into frozen food containers that anyone can take home. “It started out that I was making a little bit for seniors around Stettler because they don’t eat well and it kills me if people don’t eat well,” laughed Kneeland. “I dabbled in it and then last year I had my business partner approach me and asked me if I wanted to dive into this and we did.” Kneeland has a goal of having multiple stations set up across Alberta within 5 years. Teresa’s offers catering, frozen meals, and desserts, with a retail front to boot. Anyone can find her food at four other locations for on-the-go frozen food as well as an online store (TERESASFOOD.com). They run a junior high cooking program for the school in Donalda where they serve the entire school which happens once a week in January. Teresa’s has 6 full-time and 10 to 12 part time workers on staff for all of your culinary needs.
