– Game Changer Category

We’re thrilled to share that We Feed You has been announced as a finalist in the 2025 HIVE Food & Drink Awards, in the prestigious Game Changer category. This national recognition means the world to our small but passionate team, and it couldn’t have come at a better time.

What Are the HIVE Awards Anyway?

The HIVE Awards were created to celebrate excellence, creativity and innovation in the Australian food and drink manufacturing industry. From new product development to sustainability, local impact to packaging innovation, the awards shine a light on businesses that are moving the industry forward—and we’re honoured to be among them.

Why Game Changer Matters

Being a finalist in the Game Changer Award category is a true reflection of what We Feed You stands for. This category celebrates companies that are driving real change through bold ideas, transformative practices and a forward-thinking approach to how food is made, delivered and enjoyed.

For us, it’s not just about producing frozen meals—it’s about doing things differently. From day one, we’ve challenged the stereotype of ready meals by prioritising:

Real, whole food ingredients

Chef-made meals using traditional cooking techniques

Catering for dietary needs such as Low FODMAP and Gluten Free

Supporting evidence based nutrition and research 

Responsible sourcing and sustainable packaging

In-house production control for full quality oversight

All of this is done while supporting our team, our customers, our local growers, and the planet.

Recognition That Means More

As a small, independent Australian business, being recognised on a national stage alongside industry giants is more than just a proud moment—it’s validation of the values we refuse to compromise on.

We’ve always tried to do the right thing:
✔ For our staff – by creating meaningful jobs and a safe, supportive workplace
✔ For our customers both at home and in the workplace – by offering high quality  meals they can trust and enjoy, regardless of dietary needs
✔ For our suppliers – by building long-term partnerships with local producers and ethical suppliers
✔ For the environment – by making packaging choices that reduce waste and support circular economy goals

It hasn’t always been easy. Like many small businesses in food manufacturing, we face tight margins, growing costs and rising competition from supermarket-owned brands. But we continue to back quality, integrity and innovation over mass production and shortcuts-because we know they can't compete with that! 

Celebrating the Broader Industry

The 2025 HIVE Awards also include categories such as:

  • Best New Product

  • Ingredient Innovation

  • Packaging Design

  • Local Manufacturing Impact

  • Business of the Year

These awards not only highlight excellence—they also help connect the dots between manufacturers, retailers, health professionals and consumers. In a competitive and fast-evolving industry, recognising what good looks like helps drive the entire sector forward.

We’re incredibly proud to be among the finalists and excited to see so many values-led brands being celebrated.

To Our Customers – Thank You

Your support is what makes this all possible. Whether you've ordered once, referred us to a friend, or kept your freezer stocked since day one—this is your win too.

Stay tuned. We’re just getting started.
