 Mother Mary’s Canning Company began in 2010 when the llc. owned by Bob and Mary Barker became licensed under the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development as a limited wholesale food producer. Since 2010, they’ve been canning and learning about the challenges and rewards of producing their small-batch, hand-packed quality canned foods in a commercial setting. They continue to fine-tune their line of products while developing new recipes in their certified commercial kitchen.  The old fashioned canning stove depicted in the center  of their logo harkens back to a time when our American farm ancestors preserved food for survival. The red banner represents Michigan farm producers from whom they purchase their fresh produce directly. The circle symbolizes the seal of a canning jar lid. And the patriotic color theme shows their support for American small business.  Their slogan, “Preserving Quality Since 2010,” speaks for itself.
