Aunt Nellie’s Farm Kitchen was started in 1929 in Clyman, WI, by farmer and businessman Norbert Lau. The company trademarked the image and name of Ms. Nellie Jones, a nationally recognized pioneer in home economics who championed rural homemakers, bringing them the latest scientific research through her role as state leader of the Home Economics Extension. After starting out processing sweet peas, the company added more canned and glass-packed fruits and vegetables. In 1965, under the leadership of David Lau (Norbert Lau’s son), the company expanded it product line and since 1997, Aunt Nellie’s has been owned by Seneca Foods Corporation, based in Marion, NY.
