Who We Are

Hi!  I'm Autumn and with my husband, Joey, we live on 18 acres near the winding South River in Newton County, Georgia.  At South River Kitchen, we believe in simple, wholesome goodness. What started as a love for preserving the harvest turned into a way to share farmhouse flavors with families near and far.

Our freeze-dried treats are more than snacks — they’re little pieces of joy, captured at the peak of freshness.

What We Do

From colorful candies that crackle with fun, to garden herbs that taste like they were just picked, everything we make is done with care. We take pride in creating food that is:

• Shelf-stable but full of life

• Lightweight and easy to enjoy anywhere

• Beautifully packaged with rustic farmhouse charm

Why We Love It

For us, freeze-drying is a way of honoring nature’s gifts. It means nothing goes to waste, and every bite tastes just as fresh as the day it was picked or made.

Freeze drying maintains nearly all of the nutritional value of fresh food. Other methods of preservation, such as canning and dehydrating, use high temperatures that destroy much of the food value.

Whether you’re tucking away herbs for cooking, grabbing snacks for your kids, or treating yourself to crunchy candy, we’re here to make it special.

From our kitchen to your home — thank you for supporting our small farmhouse business.
