Questions About Stonewall Kitchen

What is Stonewall Kitchen and where can I find more information on the company?
Headquartered in York, Maine, Jonathan King and Jim Stott founded Stonewall Kitchen in 1991. Jim and Jon combined their interests in horticulture and cooking to create their own unique oils, jams, chutneys and more. At the urging of a friend, the two set up a simple folding table at a local farmers’ market and called themselves Stonewall Kitchen, from the historic New England stone walls seen outside of their kitchen window. The result: every jar sold! Encouraged by this success and many more at other farmers’ markets, fairs and festivals, Jon and Jim decided to create and develop an entire line of distinctive, high quality specialty foods. Over time, the company grew and continued to expand its product line to include more and more unique and delicious sauces, condiments and mustards. Today, Stonewall Kitchen has 9 retail Company Stores, thriving catalog and web divisions, a successful wholesale business making products available in more than 8,000 locations nationwide and a growing staff. The entire Stonewall Kitchen product line continues to be one of the most awarded in the industry year after year including a recent Trailblazers Award for their organic jams from Grocery Headquarters Magazine. In fact, since 1995, Stonewall Kitchen has won 29 prestigious awards from the Specialty Food Association and has achieved the coveted Outstanding Product Line Honors three times as well as other prominent awards from around the world! For more information on our company, please visit our Our Story page.
What is your environmental policy?
We currently are working towards diverting up to 90% of our waste from landfills. Each year over 200 tons of materials from our facility are recycled and over 6,000 pounds of food waste is composted. 
I want to work for Stonewall Kitchen! Where can I find your current openings?

Product Questions

What products do you have that would be suitable for a diabetic?
We currently do not produce a no sugar added jam, however, some of our mustards are sugar free.
Is there much sodium in your products?
Due to the wide variety of our products, the sodium content varies. Please refer to the product on our website to view nutritional information.
I have a great idea for a product, where can I send it?
We love to hear ideas from our customers! You can send your ideas and requests via our Contact Us page or can call our Guest Services line at 1.800.826.1752.
Are your products all natural?
While the term has never fully been defined, Stonewall Kitchen based the designation “All Natural” to products that do not contain ingredients on the Whole Foods unapproved list. We have always and will continue to avoid using artificial colors, flavors or any chemical preservatives, unless it is necessary for the safety of our Guests. The vast majority of our products, branded ~95%, have clean label with nothing artificial.
Do your products contain Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)?
90% of the items we self-produce are Non-GMO. We are committed to sourcing raw materials for developing new products with non-GMO ingredients whenever practical. We also require our suppliers to submit documentation on the GMO-status of their products and continue to look for alternatives for products that contain GMO ingredients.

To comply with the mandatory GMO Labeling Law from the state of Vermont, we are currently working through a process to update labels as soon as possible for products that contain genetically modified ingredients, such as corn or soy. In fact, for many of our products we are going one step further than the Vermont law even requires and highlighting the specific GMO-containing items like corn meal, soya oil, corn starch or beet sugar in the ingredient list. That way our consumers know exactly which ingredients are the source of GMOs in the product. Stonewall Kitchen has also enrolled in the Non-GMO Project and are currently working through the process.

After 20 years of research, every major health and safety agency in the world agree that GMOs are not a health or safety concern. At the same time, it’s clear to us that some of our guests want to know whether our products contain GMOs or not and we are eager to be transparent with our consumers.
Are your products organic?
Certified organic in early 2016 by The Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA), we are thrilled to develop and offer even more organic products. We do and will continue to source the best organic ingredients we can find to create a growing variety of organic products in several product categories. We do our best to call out our organic products on our packaging and within our product lines to help our customers find the products they need. Although not all of our products are organic, we pride ourselves on always using the highest quality ingredients and developing products with clean labels whenever possible.
Are your products gluten-free?
Approximately 90% of Stonewall Kitchen food products are gluten-free (not made from wheat, oats, rye or barley (malt)). The products that do contain gluten are fully disclosed in the ingredient list - even if they are a sub-ingredient. For those products that do contain gluten, we continue to work on developing gluten-free options whenever possible.
I live overseas, where can I find your products?
Currently we export to over 50 countries! If you would like to find out if there are retailers in your country that carry our products, please contact us via our online request internationalsales@stonewallkitchen.com.
What happened to my favorite product? Did you discontinue it?
In order to keep up with our new ideas, we do need to occasionally discontinue products based on consumer demand. However, if it was a favorite of yours we would love to hear! We often bring back products when we get a large calling for them, such as our Chicken and Pork Spice Rub and Pink Grapefruit Marmalade. To put in your request, please call or email our Guest Services department using our Contact Us page.
I would love to carry your products in my retail store – how would I go about becoming a wholesale customer?
Please contact our wholesale department at wholesale@stonewallkitchen.com or call 888.326.5678.

Cooking School Questions

Is the cooking school still open?
After 13 wonderful years, the Stonewall Kitchen Cooking School in York closed its doors at the end of 2021. We loved every minute of our renowned cooking school, with our stunningly talented staff, hundreds of guest chefs from around the world and the thousands of our guests who made those 13 years so special.

While the closing of the school certainly felt like the end of an era, Stonewall Kitchen officially opened the doors to our first Stonewall Home store on April 1, 2022. Inspired by some of our more recent acquisitions and successful entrance into home goods, our new store offers a wide variety of specialty home décor and products. Please stop by and visit us! We’d love to see you and hear what you think.

Cooking Questions

I followed all of the directions on the mix, but it didn’t turn out right! What did I do wrong?

Promo & Discount Terms

What terms apply to Stonewall Kitchen's online promotional discounts?
Stonewall Kitchen online promotional discounts are valid online only, cannot be combined with other promotional offers unless otherwise stated, and carry no cash value. These discounts cannot be applied to orders placed before or after the stated promotional period and are valid only for items that are in stock at the time your order is placed. Application of a promotional offer to your order may result in the temporary loss of eligibility for free shipping discounts if the applied promotion causes your per-shipment total to fall below the threshold required to qualify for free shipping; once you have added sufficient free-shipping-eligible products to your order, your shipping discount will be restored. Unless otherwise noted, already-discounted items (including Products of the Month and products in our Barn Sale categories) will not be subject to further discounts as a result of online promotional offers. Stonewall Kitchen promotional discounts cannot be applied to the purchase of: gift cards or electronic gift cards; Specialty Food Club orders; items that ship separately from outside vendors (indicated by "Ships Separately" language on the product page); items purchased at the Stonewall Kitchen Café, or at any Stonewall Kitchen Company Store; items purchased at any physical retail store where Stonewall Kitchen products are sold; items purchased on Amazon or any other online retailer or marketplace other than www.stonewallkitchen.com; or any other items that are marked as ineligible for promotions. Promotional offers cannot be used to cover taxes, shipping costs or delivery surcharges. Corporate and Wholesale orders are not eligible for online promotional discounts; Stonewall Kitchen reserves the right to delay, review and/or reject orders that we deem to be in violation of this policy. Unless otherwise indicated, your order must be placed by 11:59 p.m. ET on the stated end date of the promotion in order to qualify for the advertised discount. Promotional codes posted on websites that allow user-submitted content (including, but not limited to, coupon sharing sites, social media, and online message boards), or at any location not under the direct control of Stonewall Kitchen, will only be honored if they align with a currently-valid promotion that you are qualified to redeem. The above terms will be considered standard and will be enforced with respect to all Stonewall Kitchen online discounts unless otherwise specifically noted in a promotion’s official advertising. In the event that the full text of these terms cannot be displayed in a specific placement (e.g. digital advertisement, banner graphic, marketing message, or physical sign) due to space constraints, the entirety of these terms will be considered accurate and valid so long as a way to view the full terms (i.e. a link or direction to this paragraph) has been provided.
What terms apply to Stonewall Kitchen's online shipping discounts?
Registered members are eligible for Free Standard Shipping on orders meeting or exceeding the advertised minimum order value when you log into your free account at www.stonewallkitchen.com prior to placing your order. Unless otherwise noted, orders placed without first logging in will not be eligible for free shipping promotions. These discounts are valid online only, cannot be combined with other promotional offers unless otherwise stated, and carry no cash value. These discounts cannot be applied to orders placed before or after the stated promotional period and are valid only for items that are in stock at the time your order is placed. If a promo code is not specified in the materials advertising a shipping promotion, your shipping discount will be automatically applied if you have met the requirements for the promotion; if you do not see a shipping discount reflected in your order within checkout, no shipping discount will be applied. If you are placing an order to more than one (1) delivery address, please note that each shipment in your order is subject individually to the stated minimum order value eligibility requirement for free shipping. This stated per-shipment eligibility requirement may only be achieved through the purchase of free-shipping-eligible products; no amount of products that are ineligible for this free shipping promotion will count towards your minimum per-shipment requirement. These discounts apply only to the Standard shipping tier, denoted as STANDARD, BWGROUND, or UPSGROUND. Unless otherwise indicated, orders purchased with expedited delivery (2-day or 1-day) are ineligible to receive discounted shipping rates. Although Stonewall Kitchen makes every effort to ensure a timely delivery, our acceptance of your free-shipping-eligible order does not in any way constitute a promise regarding the specific delivery date of your order. Application of another promotional discount to your order may result in the temporary loss of eligibility for free shipping promotions if that discount causes your order total to fall below the stated per-shipment threshold required to qualify for free shipping; once you have added sufficient free-shipping-eligible products to your order, your shipping discount will be restored. These promotional discounts cannot be applied to the purchase of: gift cards or electronic gift cards; Specialty Food Club orders; items that ship separately from outside vendors (indicated by “Ships Separately” language on the product page); items purchased at the Stonewall Kitchen Café, or at any Stonewall Kitchen Company Store; items purchased at any physical retail store where Stonewall Kitchen products are sold; items purchased on Amazon or any other online retailer or marketplace other than www.stonewallkitchen.com; or any other items that are marked as ineligible for promotions.

Unless otherwise indicated, your order must be placed by 11:59 p.m. ET on the stated end date of the promotion in order to qualify for the advertised shipping discount. Promotional codes posted on websites that allow user-submitted content (including, but not limited to, coupon sharing sites, social media, and online message boards), or at any location not under the direct control of Stonewall Kitchen, will only be honored if they align with a currently-valid shipping promotion that you are qualified to redeem.

In the event that the full text of these terms cannot be displayed in a specific placement (e.g. digital advertisement, banner graphic, marketing message, or physical sign) due to space constraints, the entirety of these terms will be considered accurate and valid so long as a way to view the full terms (i.e. a link or direction to this paragraph) has been provided.
