Hi there! I’m Angie….. Creator of all these PHUN, tasty pickles, jellies and sauces you’re craving!

During the recession of 2008, I started making and selling jars of pickled vegetables off my front porch in Athens, Georgia to help make ends meet. Before long, small mom ‘n pop stores started inquiring about carrying my pickles. That meant I needed to get legal. So… I found a commercial kitchen and started production in a licensed kitchen spring of 2009.

With lots of press including Garden & Gun Magazine, Cooking Light, Food & Wine, Bon Appetit, Southern Living, Taste Of Home, Country Living, Athens Magazine, Flagpole Magazine, Red & Black Magazine, Uzine Magazine, Georgia Trend, Parent Magazine and even two COVERS: Georgia Magazine and Athens Parent…. Phew! Demand grew rapidly!

I’ve always loved cooking and started sharing my recipes on my social media platforms. Friends would say: How do I buy that sauce? or Are you selling your jellies? So…. I found a co-packer to make many of my recipes and had labels made and so now I also offer three BBQ sauces, two pepper jellies, a Mexican style salsa and two cheese spreads! My dream was to create all the different flavors you need at a gathering with friends and family.

2020 brought more challenges. I lost all my pickle kitchen employees. Stores either shut down or slowed down…and so did my production. These days… I am the sole maker of all my products and as I get batches made… I make them available in the market here on my website.
