Lynette McHendry MBE, CEO and Founder of Spear and Arrow was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer in 2015. A year later she was told the cancer had spread to her brain. Whilst she pursued the medical route for treatment, she also felt the need to look at natural ways to help herself heal from all the side effects of the various therapies. By changing her diet, going back to her roots, and having incorporated a more paleo and ancestral diet into her way of life –she continues to share her story and brand with others who need to heal their bodies and minds.

Today Spear and Arrow is a family run business established in 2020. It is a small team with a big entrepreneurial spirit and a passion for good quality food, traceability, a love of the countryside and as they say in Northern Ireland a bit of craic.

Lynette took early retirement in 2019 due to her ongoing health condition and knew that she had to focus on her well-being. As the American philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson said “The first wealth is health” and at Spear and Arrow we couldn’t agree more.
