Our community is sprouting! Here at Happy Girl we are building a community of people who share our passion for food preservation. Our mission: to empower you through hands-on workshops and with deliveries of the local harvest in bulk quantities, enabling you to preserve that local harvest safely and affordably on your own. We want our neighboring organic farmers to sell as much of their beautiful bounty as they can in the heat of their season when other outlets may be saturated. We are striving to do our part to maintain a strong local economy and food system that is more sustainable for all of us.

How it works

You join our email list at http://happygirlkitchen.com/newsletter to begin receiving our seasonal offerings of produce. Throughout the year offerings will include tomatoes, strawberries, cherries, raspberries, peaches, plums, pickling cucumbers and more–all in bulk box quantities. (We are open to requests as well). Your box contains the freshest produce possible from our network of diversified, organic family farms. Food Preservationist members receive the same quality produce at its peak that we use in all our Happy Girl recipes.

During the season’s height from June-September, a newsletter will be sent to our Food Preservationists’ list each Friday announcing the next week’s offerings. You place your order and pay online by the following Tuesday, selecting one of our 10 expanded sites for pick up. The best part about the Food Preservationists is its flexibility. You are free to order to your own desires or not each week. There is no obligation or commitment. On Friday afternoon, pick up your order at the site you selected. Once you place an order you are responsible for making sure that the produce is picked up.

It’s that easy! Just sign up to start receiving our newsletter.
