Adriene’s Canning & Jamming is a home-based business, started in 2021, owned and operated by Adriene Mackenzie specializing in homemade preserves, jams, salsa and canned fruit.  Adriene takes pride in all items made, and is known for small batch preserving.

All cooking is completed in a commercial grade, inspected kitchen that is separate from the family’s kitchen.

In 2022, products expanded to include baked goods and honey from bees on her property. 

2023 has brought expansions to include freshly prepared pre-made individual meals, perogies, casseroles, and soups.
