LIFTING OUR COMMUNITY ONE JAR AT A TIME

We Are Terroir in a Jar

We are a food waste reduction, value-addition white label co-packer — creating unique-to-the-farm products that highlight each farm's own terroir.

45% of this nation's fruits and vegetables go to waste every year. We turn that surplus into shelf-stable, single-origin products that carry the true flavor of the land they came from.

It's a fact of farm life

You've worked hard all season to get the best product the earth's soil can produce. You had a great harvest, and your distributors know how to sell it. But what about the stuff you can't sell — the fruit with too many bumps and bruises or the overabundant yield from the late rains? Odds are against you in selling all your beautiful produce each season and we are here to help.

Your Produce, Preserved

Terroir in a Jar captures your produce at its peak of flavor profile regardless of appearance, getting it ready to be processed into a shelf-stable product.

Choose from hundreds of original recipes

Our recipes have been designed and perfected over the years. You can also work with us to create your own signature profile.

How It Works

Documentation & Transparency

We'll supply your product with a certificate of authentication on each case of product that includes the name, packing date, lot number and ingredients list. When your jars are ready, we'll provide a visual template for perfectly-fitted labels.

We Do Not Commingle

As a co-packer founded on the concept of Terroir, we absolutely do not commingle the main ingredients in our recipes with other farms. We weigh, wash, inspect, measure, assign lot numbers and take pictures throughout the process.

Sustainable & Green

Our kitchen is the first green-certified kitchen by the state of CA in Santa Cruz County. We recycle everything we can, use no single-use containers, keep water usage to a minimum. Glass jars use recycled glass; lids lined with plant-based plastisol.

We utilize certified organic and conventional non-GMO cane sugar, and only the cleanest water. We include no artificial preservatives and use locally sourced products whenever possible.
