Canned Goods

Savor the taste of home with these delicious canned vegetables and jellies, lovingly made by local resident Cheryl Berndt. Cheryl grows most of the produce right in her own garden, then cans everything in her kitchen with care and tradition.

Inspired by childhood memories, canning feeds Cheryl’s soul and her senses, allowing her to connect to simpler times. As a child when Cheryl visited her neighbor Gerti, she would be welcomed into the house and offered a delicious homemade treat from the pantry that had just been prepared that morning. Gerti’s kindness, generosity, and hospitality has been a life lesson for Cheryl on how we should treat our neighbors.

These home-canned goods allow you to taste the difference compared to similar store-bought items. Regardless of the season, you can enjoy the fresh from the garden taste with all the nutritional value maintained. No chemicals or pesticides are ever used in the garden. Sustainability and small-batch, home kitchen processing ensures you will know you’re eating REAL FOOD.

Cheryl hopes that as you share your selection of canned goods with your family and friends, you take time to pause and reflect on our own childhood memories and know that the spirit of Gerti is in every item.
