Handcrafted with Heart: Explore Scratch Pantry’s Local Favorites in Elma, NY

Few things connect people like good food—and that’s exactly what you’ll find in every jar, bottle, and bite from Scratch Pantry, a beloved Western New York brand featured at the Made in America Store. This family-run business brings the spirit of farm life straight to your table with handcrafted goods made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

What began as a seasonal roadside stand in Arcade, NY has grown into a customer favorite and year-round staple. Thanks to their unwavering commitment to quality, tradition, and community, Scratch Pantry has become a natural fit among the locally made offerings we’re proud to carry.

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. After losing her husband in a tragic farming accident, Patti turned her grief into purpose, building a business that honors his memory and supports farm safety education throughout Western New York. 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.

Handcrafted Goodness, Made Locally

From pantry staples to crowd-pleasing favorites, Scratch Pantry delivers a wide variety of handcrafted goods made right here in Western New York. Explore their lineup of flavor-packed pickles (like sweet kosher dill, spicy dill, and bread & butter), bold salsas with fruit-forward twists, savory sauces and dressings including roasted garlic honey BBQ, strawberry poppyseed, vidalia onion steak sauce, zesty parmesan, and more, plus a wide selection of jellies, fruit preserves, hot honey, and caramel dips—all made in small batches with local ingredients and a whole lot of heart.

Whether you’re putting together a charcuterie board, upgrading your BBQ game, or just looking for something special to share with friends and family, Scratch Pantry offers something for every taste and occasion. And if you’re looking for a ready-to-gift option, don’t miss our beautifully assembled gift baskets—packed with a handpicked assortment of their most-loved products, perfect for birthdays, holidays, or just a thoughtful surprise.
