About Effie’s~
Two friends who have known each other for more than 20 years founded Effie’s Homemade. Joan MacIsaac and Irene Costello began their partnership with their first company, Ruby Chard Cooking Classes. Whether teaching classes or creating wholesale crackers, crisps and biscuits, they have always believed that great flavors come from quality ingredients, simply prepared.

The inspiration for their company comes from Joan’s mom, Effie MacLellan, and her recipe for Oatcakes. Effie grew up on a rural farm in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Like many traditional farmhouse recipes they realized the uniqueness of Oatcakes is in its honest and simple flavors. All of their products are based upon this premise as we rekindle old-fashioned and forgotten recipes.

Memories of growing up in households where family time revolves around dinner and where company is always welcome influences the making process of these great Oatcakes. Irene and Joan cherish the time spent at the table sharing stories and laughter alongside homemade meals.

With this in mind, Irene and Joan bring you Effie’s Homemade, a unique line of baked good, always wholesome, always all-natural and always simply delicious.
