The year was 1995. We were searching for quality, food-grade glass containers and closures at an affordable price and found none. So we decided to start our own container business. We quickly discovered that many others were in the same predicament. Home canners were having a harder time finding canning jars in the store, especially from August through May. Small start-up businesses wanting to put their best recipe in a jar found that home canning jars were too expensive, and home-canning jars leave no room for a label! Other jar distributors wouldn't return phone calls for less than pallet-size or truckload orders. We're glad that you have found us! Let us know if there's something we can do to improve our selection and service.
Pomona’s Universal Pectin got its start in 1980 on Pragtree Farm in Arlington, Washington. Farmers Brian Saunders and Connie Sumberg had an abundance of organic fruit. Brian wanted to make jam, but was horrified at the amount of sugar required. Some sleuthing and experimenting led to the pectin known today as Pomona’s Universal Pectin. In 1989, Connie took over the business, running it independently until 2009, when sister Mary Lou and Mary Lou’s husband Paul joined her. In 2017, Connie, Mary Lou and Paul retired, and Casey and Sara Wolters took the helm in continuing to bring you the only unsweetened and preservative-free pectin available on store shelves. Casey and Sara have over 10 years of experience working in the pectin industry and are proud to continue the growth of Pomona’s Universal Pectin.
