The Full Story
Hi, I'm Amanda, and I am the founder of The Artisan Cart.
​​
My journey began during the quiet days of lockdown, living alone and finding comfort in creating elaborate cheese boards just for myself. What started as a simple weekend treat quickly became a weekly ritual — and then, a full-blown obsession.
​
As restrictions lifted, I started sharing my creations with family and friends, and seeing their joy sparked something bigger. That’s when I decided to turn my passion into a business — one that brings beautiful, thoughtful grazing experiences to everything from cosy get-togethers to lavish celebrations. For me, food is so much more than just something to eat. It’s a way to connect, to bring people together, and to make every moment feel a little more special.
​
At The Artisan Cart, sustainability and supporting local talent are at the heart of everything we do. From the reclaimed wood used to craft our serving boards to the delicious treats sourced from fellow small businesses, every detail reflects our commitment to community and care. Even our aprons are lovingly made by independent designers.
​
We pride ourselves on curating exquisite charcuterie boards, filled with the finest locally sourced ingredients — think artisanal cheeses, perfectly cured meats, fresh seasonal fruits, crunchy nuts, and irresistible spreads. Each board is thoughtfully assembled to be as beautiful as it is delicious — a true celebration of flavour, craftsmanship, and connection.
​
As a proud member of the LGBTQIA* community, The Artisan Cart is inclusive and supportive of all events.​ Whether it's a wedding, corporate event, or a simple gathering with friends, we strive to create a inclusive experience.
Let us bring the magic of The Artisan Cart to your next occasion.
