Eadha
Eadha, meaning endurance, is a sourdough bakery worker co-operative in Winnipeg’s West End. Eadha operates under a queer, anti-racist, and de-colonial mandate, and strives to provide staff with a living wage and benefits. Originally launched as a sole proprietorship in 2016, Eadha began working with SEED in 2021 to transition into a worker co-operative and officially re-launched as Eadha Bakery Co-op in 2023 with six worker-owners.
“I am very thankful SEED has touched my life. They have paved the path for future generations of my family.”
After explaining the situation to her employment coach, Michelle was referred to SEED. She felt understood and supported by the staff in SEED’s Recognition Counts program.
