Entrepreneur, community minded, mom on the move.
My professional expertise in Food and Communications have been developed over the foundations of visual arts & archaeology. The life work that is Potlicker kitchen remains a family business of 13 years. I am in charge of all things sticky; the organizer & chief. A museum nerd to my core, you will also find me facilitating tours at the Tampa Museum of Art.
As a life long volunteer I am a sustaining member of the Junior League of Tampa & previously served on the Board of Directors of the Junior League of Champlain Valley. My time and talents have benefited a number of non-profit organizations by contributing to fundraising efforts, communications, branding, graphic & web design. Serving in leadership positions, member management, project coordination, community outreach, & (wo)man power.
“At the end of the day it’s not about what you have or even what you accomplished, it’s about who you’ve lifted up, who you’ve made better. It’s about what you’ve given back.”
-Denzel Washington
All of Potlicker started with the blog. It began as a creative outlet in 2009, became a canning addiction, and evolved into a small business. After almost 10 years of manufacturing thousands of jars a week in my Vermont canning kitchen, I get a lot of help stirring the pot. Current production locations include Florida & Vermont.
Recipes have been developed in my kitchen, the flavors inspired by the ingredients around me, and my sweet savory preference. Preserves for use with cheese & charcuterie, cooking & baking, sandwiches & sauces.
I am a dedicated yogi (RYT fall 2023) and love to be outdoors. As a garden goddess & kitchen witch I fill my time with growing things (plants, ideas, skills) and learning how to use them. Forever a hobbyist photographer, you can find me on instagram the most.
Follow my IG @Ms.NancyJean. @PotlickerKitchen will remain dedicated to jam & things sticky.
