Take a peek at a small commercial kitchen and see what the differences are between home canning and commercially producing canned goods for consumers. Topics include food safety, sanitation and hygiene, temperatures, ph levels, process to become a certified Better Processor with the ability to sell on the internet, to retail and wholesale outlets, and direct to consumers.
Joyce and Charlie both grew up in families that canned the bounty of their gardens. As their own market garden grew, they realized having shelf stable products available to customers expanded their market and bridged gaps in the growing season. After many years at the farmers market, they decided to focus on producing gourmet jams with the help of their family. Friends Drift Inn Jams are available at their Pikeville, KY retail store as well as via the friendsdriftinn.com website. Wholesale inquiries are welcome.
Filmed on location at the CANE kitchen located in Whitesburg, Letcher County Kentucky, Episode 5 shows some of the aspects of food safety and food entrepreneurship. The shared kitchen hosts commercial food producers, catering events, meetings and conferences.
Based in Appalachia, Friends Drift Inn Breakfast Chats are a weekly look at homesteading, farming, cooking, food preservation, and preparedness. Joyce and Charlie share their experiences of “Growing a Good Life in Appalachia.”
