Preserve Farm Kitchens focuses on the manufacturing of artisan food in jars (preserves, sauces, condiments, etc.) for small farms, farmers, beginning stage food entrepreneurs throughout Northern California. From day one, our priority has always been farmers. Preserve Farm Kitchens supports these important stewards of the land who utilize practices to get carbon back into the soil; a critical step to fight our climate crisis.

Our co-packing facilities provide farmers an independent avenue to make additional income without wasting their excess or imperfect harvests. Our current equipment purchased used, has broken down many times. Repairs are costly and continue to drive inefficiencies.

Small batch manufacturing was once the cornerstone of our country. (watch the video below featuring our board member, Evan Wiig; Communications Director for the Community Alliance for Family Farmers) Small batch Preserve Farm Kitchens works primarily with organic product lines. We're retaining a time-honored tradition once essential to robust local food economies. Over the last 10 years, Preserve Farm Kitchens worked with our farmers throughout Northern California preserving over 200 Tons of produce; we think we can do so much more!

Funds raised here will be deployed to purchase replacement equipment for our farm to pantry cannery business located in beautiful Sonoma County, California.

Here's where your money will go:

4-head filling line including a filler, capper, labeler and jet coder,
Replace our irreparable 45-quart Vertical Cutter Mixer,
Replace one irreparable Steam-Jacketed Kettle,
Commercial dehydrator,
Forklift for the warehouse,
Repairs to our production facility, electrical and flooring.

Right-sized, small-batch manufacturing needs your assistance giving many Americans the option to increase their incomes, reducing waste, and opening the doors to many along the way.

We look forward to partnering with you here and beyond.

Thank you so much for your support!

Sincerely,

Preserve Farm Kitchens
