Rooted in History and Sustainability
Established in 2015, the Glass Rooster Cannery is the culmination of a lifelong dream for owners Jeannie and her husband. Driven by a passion for preserving the past and promoting sustainable practices, they have meticulously restored a historic Sears-Roebuck home to serve as the Old Hen Guest House, while transforming the surrounding farmland into a thriving oasis of cultivation and natural beauty.
The property's rich history dates back to the early 1900s, when it operated as a working farm. Today, the Glass Rooster Cannery continues this legacy, growing a variety of heirloom fruits and vegetables using regenerative farming techniques. The owners are proud recipients of multiple Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) grants, which have allowed them to expand their efforts in reducing food waste and supporting local producers.
