“Every day we learn something new about her and it brings us closer together,” she says.

As a working mom, Cole says having help is key to balancing her food empire along with her daughter.

“I am so fortunate to have my mother and Derrick’s mother, as constant support in our household,” she says. “We are both so very busy growing our food empires, we wouldn’t be able to do what we love without our village. "

“Although Derrick is not vegan, he is very supportive of my lifestyle and allowed me to make the decision on the type of food our daughter consumes,” she continues. “I’m so happy that it wasn’t a struggle.”

“Next step, turning Derrick vegan,” she teases.
