A Family Business with Deep Roots

Founded by Patti Schenk and her children, Scratch Pantry is more than just a brand—it’s a labor of love.

A portion of every sale contributes to raising awareness and supporting safe agricultural practices—a mission that's as inspiring as the flavors are unforgettable.
