One of our favorite parts of this time of year is getting to preserve, can, pickle and dry all of the fantastic tastes of the season. The most delicious preserved foods begin with the best-quality produce at its peak of ripeness and we are pleased to provide that to our customers! (We're also happy to offer discounted bulk produce for avid picklers!) Stop by to stock up on the new fall harvests and ask Joanna about her go-to pickled jalapeños recipe. They’re a perfect companion to sandwiches and tacos.

As a reminder, our store is an immunocompromised safe zone and masks are required if you make the choice to shop in person. We also offer pre-ordering on our website with curbside pickup if you prefer to not mask. We appreciate you and your business!
