Ep. 81 | Farrah & Yassin | The Authenticity Advantage | Afia Foods

From a small kitchen in Syria to grocery aisles across Texas, Farrah and Yassin’s story is one of resilience and purpose. What began with a few handwritten recipes in a black notebook became Afia Foods — a frozen-food brand built on authenticity, family, and culture. Starting at local farmers’ markets, they sold out week after week before building their own manufacturing line to protect quality and stay true to their roots. When the pandemic disrupted supply chains, that decision kept Afia Foods producing when others couldn’t.

Now stocked in over 200 stores and recognized through H-E-B’s “Quest for Texas,” Afia Foods stands as a symbol of craftsmanship and community. Beyond business growth, Farrah and Yassin have created jobs for refugees and newcomers, offering the same opportunity they once needed. This episode dives into how they scaled with discipline, stayed grounded in culture, and turned a family recipe into a purpose-driven food brand inspiring a new generation of immigrant entrepreneurs.
