Amanda Martin – Owner / Founder - Sweet Cheesus Charcuterie

What started as a simple side hustle for a single mom in Halifax has exploded into a thriving business crafting stunning charcuterie boards and tables for weddings, corporate events, and more.

In this inspiring and down-to-earth conversation, Amanda shares her incredible journey: from buying her first house and needing flexible work, to landing a 250-person corporate gala and fitting four commercial fridges in her kitchen. She opens up about the realities of balancing entrepreneurship with motherhood, the viral power of a genius business name, and how social media helped build a supportive local food community.

Get the inside scoop on her creative process, the math behind a 32-foot charcuterie table, and the heartwarming moment her young daughter started passing out business cards for "Stella's Charcuterie." Amanda also gets real about the less-glamorous parts of the job (spreadsheets!) and reveals the profound influence of a father who taught her to "just make it happen."

Tune in for a story of passion, perseverance, and pretty plates that proves you can build something amazing right from your own kitchen.

Amanda Martin is the heart behind Sweet Cheesus Charcuterie, creating stunning charcuterie boards that turn any occasion into something special. With a love for fresh, local ingredients and beautiful presentation, Amanda brings people together through food.

When she’s not designing boards, Amanda enjoys spending time with her daughter, who inspires her creativity and passion for making every gathering unforgettable.
