Tradition

CANNING | FERMENTING | PICKLING

In Southwest Virginia, this is a source of pride. Tradition.

It was born out of survival here in Appalachia and has withstood the test of time. It brings people together and has also been known to push them apart. Have you ever crocked kraut? Pickled peaches? Tasted fresh canned tomatoes? Sipped your own apple cider?

Canning captures the very essence of this area, the agricultural component of growing the food, work ethic, necessity to preserve, and a community of hands.
