MEET THE GRAZE GIRLS
ROSIE & EMILY
Graze Wilder CoFounders
Hi, we’re Rosie (left) and Emily (right)—two Yorkshire girls, best friends for 27 years, and firm believers in the magic of bringing people together over beautiful food.
Graze Wilder began on a hike in April 2021, just after Emily had her first baby, Jack Wilder. A conversation about craving “good British cheese” (as you do!) and realizing there weren’t many thoughtful gifting options along the Sea to Sky corridor sparked an idea. Little did we know, that simple chat would turn into a journey that changed our lives forever.
What started as a cozy at-home date night option quickly grew into something so much more. Graze Wilder is now a full-service catering company, creating everything from our signature Grazy Pig boxes to breathtaking grazing tables for celebrations across Pemberton, Whistler, Squamish, and the Lower Mainland.
With over two decades of combined experience in hospitality and event planning, we pour our hearts into every detail, making sure each event feels as special as the people we’re creating it for.
Whether it’s an edible gift for a friend, teacher, or colleague, or a gathering filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable food—we’d be honored to be part of it. Let’s create something beautiful together. We can’t wait to Graze with you!

ROSIE STEPHENS
Rosie is deeply passionate about caring for others and has spent the past 12 years dedicated to helping those in need, particularly children. Becoming a nurse is her greatest life achievement to date. “Growing up on a dairy farm sparked my love of quality cheese from a young age. Little did I know, that love would eventually lead me to co-found a charcuterie business!”
A loving wife and dog mom to Winnie, Rosie has always had a creative side. From childhood, she expressed her artistic passion through textiles and photography. When she and Emily envisioned Graze Wilder, Rosie’s love for food and her creativity merged beautifully. Her stunning platters and displays are frequently praised by customers for their beauty and meticulous detail.
EMILY SHIMWELL
Emily is the co-founder of Graze Wilder, co-owner of Squamish Coastal Carpentry Inc., and founder of Dine Wilder Events—all while being mom to Jack Wilder (4) and Wilf Parker (2).
"I’m both an early riser and a night owl, with a coffee order as unpredictable as my next big idea. I live by my Why—creating meaningful experiences that leave a lasting impact. Inspired by Unreasonable Hospitality, that’s exactly what I strive to deliver.
I love stories—reading, writing, sharing, and bringing them to life. At my core, I’m passionate about fostering genuine connections and crafting experiences that make people feel truly seen, inspired, and part of something unforgettable.
