Since 2010, Todd and Jordan Champagne of Happy Girl Kitchen Co. have been turning the bounty of the seasons into delicious jams, jellies, pickles, cocktail mixers, and fresh ferments to be enjoyed year-round. And possibly the best part? They are dedicated to supporting local, organic California farms.
After spending a summer on a family farm in Norway, the Champagnes found themselves farming the central coast of California. With California’s long summer growing season, they realized that the art of food preservation had almost become a thing of the past. This was a stark contrast to their experience in Norway, where if you wanted to enjoy the harvest of summer year-round, preservation was a must.

Their first preservation endeavor, Fearless Pickles, began with a line of five different pickled vegetables. As their preserving methods grew into more than just pickling, they outgrew the name, and Happy Girl Kitchen Co. was born.

In addition to a wide selection of artisan preserves, their storefront and café in serene Pacific Grove, CA offers preservation workshops, and farm-to-table cooking classes for home cooks and chefs alike. They also host parties, recipe swaps, and pop-up dinners to educate and engage participants about the importance of what’s on their plate.
