Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect during a garden pantry consultation?

We will walk through your garden plans for the upcoming season, talk about your food preferences, and come up with a plan of delivery & pick-up.  We can also go through customization options and resources should you need help to add some extra production to your garden space.

What if my garden doesn’t produce enough food?

We will source supplemental produce for your batch of garden pantry items from either Whole Foods, the Farmer’s Market, or Central Market – prioritizing local and organic where possible.   Depending on the volume we have to source, we may need to add a surcharge to your order.

Where do the other ingredients come from?

For staple ingredients like salt, sugar and vinegar we source from local restaurant supply stores.  Any supplemental produce we need to buy to make sure we deliver a full batch back to you will come from Whole Foods, the Farmer’s Market or Central market – prioritizing local and organic where possible.

I really want a type of jam/pickle/sauce but don’t grow that produce.  Can you still make it for me?

You bet – we love to get creative in the kitchen.  Let’s connect!

I’d like to have other things made besides preserved items – Breads! Butters! Meals! – What else can you help me with?

The sky is the limit – we pride ourselves on our creativity in the kitchen and providing a luxury, turnkey service for our clients.  We can go through options with you during your consultation.  We personally love an herb bread and herb compound butter!

Can you teach me to can too?  Can I help?

Stay tuned! We are planning customer education events for the spring.

How do I know how much to plant to get pantry items?

While we absolutely love gardening, we can’t claim the expertise to help you professionally here.  So, we have partnered with some of the best kitchen garden design companies in town.  They can help you plan, source, install and even maintain your gardens to get the harvests you want.  We can help with the introductions to get you started!

What areas do you serve?

We are located in Houston, TX and generally service clients within the following neighborhoods:  Piney Point, Bunker Hill, Spring Branch, Memorial, Hunter’s Creek, Uptown, River Oaks, Tanglewood, Montrose, West U, Bellaire, Braeswood, Heights, Garden Oaks and areas-in between/nearby. 

We are more than happy to travel further – don’t hesitate to reach out!

 Will you deliver back to me?

Absolutely, unless you prefer to pick it up.  We aim to deliver a turnkey service.

How do I get you the produce?

We’ve got a couple of options that we can discuss during your consultation. 

I want to send gifts of my garden pantry items – can you help with that?

Yes! We’ve got lots of ideas here – let’s connect to make it personal to your family.

How long will it take to get my garden pantry items back?

We guarantee that we will preserve your produce within 24 hours of receipt to ensure optimal freshness.  Items then need to be undisturbed for an additional 12-24 hours per canning recommendations.  We will aim for delivery back to you within 3-5 business days of receipt!

How much does it cost?

The standard turnkey price for canned goods, which is inclusive of a consultation, pick-up, delivery and all the pantry goods is $150 per batch.  You will receive at least 6 jars per batch.  Should we need to add significant amounts of additional ingredients, we will charge you for the cost and a $25 sourcing charge. 

For breads, pies, cakes and cookies – the price is $15 per item if included as part of a canning batch.  If ordered separately, a $30 pick-up/delivery charge will be added.

Are you licensed for food handling?

We have our Texas Food Handling license (#TX001830) and operate in compliance with all Texas Cottage Food Law requirements.
