Small Batch Kitchen was founded by Sheila Rhodes in 2014. 

After my husband Jason, and I moved to Harleysville in 2009, we jumped into turning our semi-suburban acre into a self-sufficient homestead. After planting a large vegetable garden, I wanted to see if I could "put up" enough food to last the winter. 

I canned salsa, tomatoes, pickles, and jams and was happy with the way the majority of the recipes turned out. I was disappointed in the flavor of the jams. They seemed overly sweet - with sugar masking the flavor of the fresh, sweet produce that I used during the height of the summer. 

After spending a lot of time trying to find recipes that kept peaches tasting nice and peachy, I started developing my own recipes. Playing with flavors in my low-sugar fruit spreads the way I did in the kitchen every night, I started creating recipes that mixed fruits and herbs, and still tasted fresh months later. 

Once our pantry filled up, I started giving spreads to friends and family, who encouraged me to start selling my products at local farmer's markets. 

In July 2019, Small Batch Kitchen moved into a larger production facility located on Main Street in Lansdale, PA.

As we grow, we still maintain our commitment to creating flavorful products, sourcing local produce, creating low-sugar recipes, never adding artificial ingredients, and producing everything by hand.

I think you'll taste the difference in every jar of Small Batch Kitchen spread or infused sea salt you purchase.
