our mission
Founder and CEO Laena McCarthy started Anarchy in a Jar in 2009, cooking in the wee hours of the morning, making jam in restaurant kitchens, borrowed through the kindness and generosity of her community.
Anarchy in a Jar is not a commodity, it's built around people growing, making, and sustaining real food ecosystems.
Join us!
It began with a dogma....
what is a healthy ecosystem? Food is community, and has the potential to create vital change, in our land, bodies, and minds.
Since Laena first started connecting with local biodynamic farms and making jam in 2002, she would share her creations with the trope, “it’s like anarchy in a jar, and the revolution starts in your mouth.”
She’s been adhering to this dogma ever since.
