Clara’s Canning Company was started in 2013 by Chef Ona Lee while in Los Angeles following the passing of beloved grandma Clara. She was a farmer’s daughter, a farmer’s wife, and the mother of ten children. As a child Ona spent summers in eastern Washington on family farms with Clara canning, baking, cooking, sewing, and watching soaps. The magic she spun into her way of life, jars, and food was worth a life time of inspiration.

Because of these childhood experiences Ona believes in the power traditional food ways & memory have to positively impact our homes as well as our communities.

Clara's focus is providing our community with hyper local farm direct sources, recipes, education in growing food, preservation, & storage.

We want anyone who is interested in excellent food, sustainability, and self sufficiency to have a home here. Whether that is through our blog, products, private cooking, pop ups, classes, tips, or social media.

Clara’s is a company founded first in love, followed by sustainability, service, and care.
