Gunnar & Jake’s was created from love—love for family, food, and the people who believed in me most. My passion for cooking began when I became a mom, wanting nothing but the best for my two sons, Gunnar and Jake. I started making everything from scratch—healthy, homemade, and full of heart.
But this brand is also deeply rooted in the bond I shared with my father. He was my biggest fan, my greatest supporter, and the reason I kept going when things got tough. Every jar is a tribute to him—his strength, his faith in me, and his belief that I could do anything.
You taught me strength, honesty, and integrity — and I still miss everything about you.
Every single jar I’ve sold carries a special dedication to my father…Thomas Stefansky, my biggest fan, the one who always believed in my talent.
Gunnar & Jake’s isn’t just about pickles—it’s about perseverance, passion, and family. From my kitchen to your table, thank you for being part of our story.
Love you always, Dad.
