Sunshine Canning

Specialties

One of our main missions at Sunshine Canning is to support local farmers and most of our products are made from local, seasonal produce. These are small batch ~ often no more than five or six jars at a time ~ handcrafted from the freshest ingredients with no added preservatives. We use organic produce whenever possible and work closely with Geraldson Community Farm to achieve this. We are also known for our beer-​infused goodies and are lucky enough to have Darwin Brewing Company as a supportive craft brewery neighbor :)

Our other main focus is teaching people how to preserve their harvest at home. We know that canning can be intimidating, but our classes do a good job of demystifying the process, covering safety concerns, equipment, and different preserving techniques so that students get a full understanding of how to safely preserve food at home. The classes are hands-​on and a lot of fun — and ALWAYS include some home canned treats to sample!

History

Established in 2012.

Sunshine Canning was founded after the owner, Lisa Fulk, became a certified Master Food Preserver through Cornell University. She began teaching canning classes in the Tampa Bay area and then branched out into selling her creations.

Classes are still an important focus of the company and Lisa is happy to answer any canning questions you might have! You can find more information through the company website.
