Where it all began...

Back in 2012, due to an unexpected abundance of cucumbers from our garden, I made my own pickles and relish for the first time. My family members received them for birthday and Christmas gifts and raved about them. (The pickle recipe was from my aunt, and the relish recipe from my mother-in-law.) Due to connections I'd made though my other business ventures (Organize Me and 123 Learn), I’d given some thought to perhaps selling a few jars. (I'd been collecting canning jars all winter, just in case...Free ones are the best kind!) I knew there was a market for homemade preserves. I was an assistant manager of a cafe/bakery/retail store near my home for several years. Every summer, we sold thousands of jars of homemade pickles and jam.

Fast-forward to June 2013. I went strawberry picking at Laundry Farms and suddenly found myself with a fridge full of 6 quarts of strawberries. I put most of them in the freezer for smoothies, but made a batch of strawberry jam, since my husband enjoyed strawberry jam on his toast.

Anyway, the jars looked so pretty sitting there all lined up on my kitchen counter, and I thought, "Hmm, I wonder if I can sell a couple of jars to at least pay for the berries I bought?" So, I snapped a photo, posted it on one of my favourite online selling sites, and what do you know? Someone wanted 4 jars. Then someone else wanted 2 jars. Before I knew it, I'd sold my whole batch of jam and there was nothing for my poor hubby to put on his toast!

So, I went and picked some more berries, made some more jam, and voila! My newest business venture was born: The County Cupboard.
