national canning jar shortage strikes the red hen! 

Fellow jam and marmalade-heads! Help! Did you know there's a critical, nationwide canning jar shortage? My usual sources are all out for the indefinite future. I have spent way too much of my life contemplating jam jars. Why? Because I always think there might be a better or cheaper source than the closest Smart & Final store. But no. After shipping and tax and all that, I fall back on my local Santa Barbara or Carpinteria store. But they're out! Indefinitely! Nationwide!

So, NEXT SATURDAY, 9/25/20, when you visit me at the Santa Barbara Downtown Farmer's Market anytime between 8:30am and 1pm, I will offer you a discount on your purchase if you bring back clean, usable, 8-ounce (1/2 pint) Mason jars. (Sadly, due to the jar shortage, we may have a limited amount of jam and marmalade to purchase.) 

Also, do you see the art in the background of this photo above? It's for sale! I'll be sending more info via Instagram. It's a series of oil paintings on 24-inch square wood panels related to the Thomas Fire and Mudslide. I really felt such deep hope watching the hills recover and that's the inspiration for these works. For more specifics and prices, email me at redhencannery @ gmail.com. 

Thank you all! Stay healthy and content and dust off your empty jars and stop by for a visit. We miss you!
