Local Food Production
This jar exists because self-sufficiency starts in the kitchen.
Nourish yourself, from your own hands.
We believe the best food comes from your own kitchen. Every jar we make is a step toward self-sufficiency — and an invitation for you to try it too. Real ingredients, real hands, right here in Central Oregon.
We teach people to preserve, ferment, and produce their own food so every household can be a little more self-sufficient. Buy a jar to taste what's possible, then learn to make your own.
Pickled onions, jam, mead, cookies
The first batches are coming out of the kitchen now. Pickled red onions are the lead product, with a rotating line of seasonal jams, ferments, and small-batch baked goods.
Bend farmer's-market stand planned for 2026. Watch the support page for QR pickup info.
Proof it's real: what's been coming off the smoker, out of the oven, and onto the cooling rack lately.
The brisket sandwich — fourteen hours of smoke between two slices of our own bread.
Cookies from the Sarah's Sweets side of the kitchen.
Sourdough, naturally leavened and baked in-house.
We include a little insert with each jar — what's inside, who made it, and a place for you to tell us what we should put up next. And yes, the goose rides along.
Front — Reach for the stars — and then for our jars.
Back — not just selling what's in the jar, sharing how it got there.
The sticker — God's Silliest Goose, a HandsInJars production.
