www.happygirlkitchen.com is preserving the local organic harvest - one jar at a time.
Certified organic food that feeds the soul!
Happy Girl Kitchen Co is dedicated to reviving and celebrating the tradition and art of food preservation. We take delight in capturing the bounty of the harvest and canning it so delicious goodness can be enjoyed year round. We love sharing our expertise through our Workshops so that others have the confidence to do their own home canning.
Committed to our working relationships with our local, organic community, we traverse the neighboring countryside to hand-select produce from our circle of farmer friends. We have developed simple recipes and techniques so the good life of the central coast of California can be tasted in each bite. We are striving to do our part to maintain a strong local food system and economy that is sustainable for all.
We're bringing the canning back to Cannery Row!

Happy Girl Kitchen creates many kinds of Preserves. In addition to the award-winning Apricot Chili Jam, we make jellies, marmalades, pickles, salsas, sauerkraut, kimchee, ketchup, juices and ciders. All are certified organic and made only with produce from local farms. Check out our burgeoning pantry at: http://happygirlkitchen.com/favorites/
Happy Girl Kitchen also creates special “Limited Production” preserves. These small batch offerings are inspired by the best of the season’s harvest and Jordan’s bold imagination. Such micro batch creations sell out quickly so be sure to stop by our store or website regularly to see what yummy surprises Jordan has cooking!
Folks love our preserves and often ask how they too can learn to preserve food. Thrilled with the public interest, Happy Girl Kitchen offers hands-on Basic and Advanced Workshops to revive the art of home food preservation. We love sharing our expertise so that others have the confidence to do their own home canning. For those with experience, we now offer advanced technique workshops. It’s time to get out Grandma’s recipes and start cooking! For class information and dates see: http://happygirlkitchen.com/workshops/
It soon became clear that our new friends and fellow canners needed quality organic produce so Happy Girl Kitchen started The Food Preservationists. Since we know the farmers, we are able to provide seasonal fruits and vegetables at bulk prices. We offer a variety of organic boxes each week along with recipes for successful canning. Before we knew it, Happy Girl Kitchen had a community of fun folks interested in reviving great food traditions, coming to our whimsical parties and sharing tasty recipes and tips.
