HONOLULU (HI Now) - From Scratch begins with intention, love, and a whole lot of hustle from one devoted mama. Founded and run by hands-on mother Kayla Varde—mom to two young keiki (ages 2 and 3)—this self-made business is rooted in a mission to create products that make you feel good from the inside out.
Driven by the belief that food is medicine and love is the most powerful ingredient, From Scratch offers a unique and wholesome menu of wellness shots, vibrant juices, and fresh dips—all made with original recipes created from scratch.
Wellness Starts Here: The #1 seller? From Scratch 808’s signature Ginger Turmeric Wellness Shot. Packed with powerful anti-inflammatory ingredients, it’s offered as a single shot or in a 16 oz mason jar (a convenient 7-day supply, taken 2 oz daily). Also popular is the Elderberry Hibiscus Shot—crafted to support immunity with bold, earthy flavor and nourishing benefits.
Juices Made with Heart: Fresh, fruity, and always evolving, her 16 oz juices—like Pink Juice (strawberry, grape, watermelon, green apple)—are perfect for sipping throughout the day. Seasonal blends often pop up depending on what’s locally growing or freshly harvested. You never know what limited-run flavors might appear next!
Dips to Savor & Share: From her classic, crowd-favorite Bruschetta to the smoky, flavorful Marilyn Dip, every batch is made with care. Other fan favorites include house-made Pesto, Chimichurri, Pineapple Salsa, and a zesty Pineapple Tomatillo Honey Sauce—all offering a delicious twist on local ingredients and global flavors.

Grown with Aloha: Much of the citrus and basil used in her products is grown by her own family. Everything else is sourced locally and organically whenever possible—supporting Hawai‘i’s community of farmers and ensuring the highest quality ingredients.
At From Scratch, you’re not just buying a product—you’re supporting a local, mom-powered dream that puts health, flavor, and heart into every jar and bottle. Follow along @fromscratch808 and treat yourself to a jar of sunshine, made with aloha from the ground up.
