BFN’s Founder
Meet Jess, the vibrant and creative founder of Born from Necessity, who has a wealth of experience and knowledge about good food, health, and immunity.
Born and raised in Zimbabwe into a family steeped in traditional farming, Jess understands the value of responsible sourcing and organic plant based products. After spending time as a fisherman in places like Corfu and seeing the importance of locally sourced and fresh ingredients in the rich Mediterranean diet, Jess was inspired to create a brand that also incorporates this influence into his offerings. He has always believed in the power of nature to heal and has seen firsthand the impact of good nutrition on health.
In 2018 he created Born From Necessity alongside his wife Louise, with two specific purposes in mind: to help those struggling with ill health by eating well and to make a positive impact on the planet. As an expert on all things sustainability and health, Jess is passionate about making these values accessible to everyone.
Jess's unique background and passion make Born From Necessity more than just a grocer and refill pantry. It's a purpose-driven brand that aims to create a positive impact on the world.
