Weck Jars
weckjars.com

At the beginning of the last century, the J. WECK Company
was founded in Oflingen Germany, at this time they developed
and introduced the home-canning method for glass jars. Since
then, WECK has made this method popular not only in Germany and Europe, but worldwide. It might be easier than you
think. It’s fun and satisfying and brings you the recognition of
family and friends, as well as saving you money.
WECK is continually working in the field of home canning
research. Specializing in all problems and questions concerning home canning, WECK has continuously developed and
improved home-canning methods with the aid of its long experience as well as the constant ideas and innovations of the canning experts at WECK.
Weck Jars are not just for canning anymore. Over the past few
years, our jars have been used to create everything from wedding favors and candles, to lighting fixtures, and more. They are
the preferred choice for some of todays most know designer and
have been featured in Martha Stewart’s Living Magazine.

joanna’s notes: I love canning! My grandparents have been growing their own veggies for as long as I can remem-

ber; and I learned to can the old school way. In the South that means by scalding hot water, a little foul language and
a few scars. Thankfully there are so many amazing tools on the market now for the modern canner. Weck jars, while
veterans in the industry, are the modern canning jar company. With a variety of shapes & sizes, they appeal to me
asthetically as well as functionally.

joanna’s notes: I am a big fan of Honest Company products. I was an

early tester when they first launched three years ago. From diapers to shampoo, we have used everything. Sunscreen is a tough product. I was concerned about coverage but this sunscreen hits the mark, without the nasty
ingredients of other name brands. A big win for mom & kids!
