OK so yes, we did just get a delivery of 1,200 canning jars. That's on top of the 400 we got last week (AND whatever we already had in house). Oh, my...
We've been SUPER busy, even though the restaurant itself is closed for the canning run this year.
Is it worth it?
Oh, yeah...
Pickled Bull's Blood beets from The Garden Of... with cider vinegar, star anise and black peppercorn. Yes, please!
We're gonna fill every single jar with love (and then probably go out and buy more jars, knowing us)
🙂
See you all soon!

Pickled Thao Farms okra, with a spicy cayenne, paprika and crushed garlic brine. Boom. Going to sleep for a couple weeks... we’re thinking tempura style fried pickled okra in September. Sound good? #openfacefoodshop #danish #westadams #putapickleonit @kongthao03
What a difference a day makes. Satsuma Plums from Tenerelli Farms. Fresh Plum Jam from Open Face Food Shop.

Today's canning mission- Mission Figs! 5 cases of beautiful figs from Pudwill Farms ready for processing. When we're done with those, it's on to 120 lbs of amazing Satsuma Plums from Tenerelli! John Tenerelli himself even sent us a recipe his mom used to make with these beauties... wow. Can't wait for you to try it all! #openfacefoodshop #danish #westadams #putapickleonit #pudwillfarms #tenerellifarms
First up in our canning Run of 2020, pickled charred Calabrian chilis #openfacefoodshop #danish #westadams #putapickleonit
I was going to sit on my patio and read a book but then I realized that canning is zen #zenofcanning
GORGEOUS figs from Avila farms, just in time for our seasonal canning run!
Hmm, I wonder what else we should do? Peaches, plums, pickles, hot sauce…What do you think?

A slightly different post today because we learned something fascinating and I’d like to share it with you. See this giant funky citrus? That’s an “Ojai Pixie” tangerine. You read that correctly.
“Wait,” you ask “aren’t Pixies supposed to be small, like the name implies?” Yes they are, and that’s what we learned today from Letty Garcia of Garcia Farms.
As another side effect of all the restaurant closures much of the citrus crop wasn’t picked and they can stay on the tree, growing for many months. This is just another unforeseen impact of the Covid crisis.
Not all produce has this characteristic unfortunately and our amazing local farmers are having to throw a LOT away, wasting beautiful food and putting them in a really difficult financial position.
We’re asking everyone to do what you can; support them by shopping at the markets or if you can’t get to there, pick up a box of amazing produce from us. We include the best from up to 10 different farmers every week and since we have to go to the markets anyway, it will save you time and keep you out of crowded super markets.
And it helps the farmers. Win Win :-)#localfarmers #openfacefoodshop #danish #westadams #putapickleonit
