About Us
Welcome to Mary & Averee’s
Garden & Home
Rooted in Family. Grown with Purpose. Made for Your Table.
Mary & Averee’s Garden & Home is more than a garden and food brand—it is a love letter to family, agriculture, home, and the belief that some of life’s best moments begin around the kitchen table.
The brand is proudly named after founder Shawn Denise’s grandmothers, Mary and Averee, two women whose names now represent a legacy being carried forward through every jar, seasoning blend, garden harvest, recipe, and product we create.
From Our Family to Yours
For Shawn Denise, Mary & Averee represents the connection between generations—the traditions we inherit, the knowledge we pass down, and the meals that bring families together.
After building a 20-year career in agriculture, Shawn combined her professional agricultural knowledge with her passion for gardening, cooking, creating, and homemaking to build a brand designed to make fresh, flavorful food more accessible to everyday families.
Mary & Averee’s Garden & Home was created with a simple idea:
You shouldn’t have to grow an entire garden to bring
garden-inspired flavor to your kitchen table.
We do some of that work for you!
From Our Garden. To Your Kitchen Table.
Our products begin with an appreciation for what comes from the soil.
From handcrafted jams and pickles to flavorful wing sauces, dressings and carefully blended seasonings, Mary & Averee creates products designed to help turn everyday ingredients into meals your family gets excited about eating.
Our collection includes:
-
Small-batch jams and preserves inspired by the fruits of every season
-
Homemade pickles with classic and Southern-inspired flavors
-
Garden Dill Ranch Dressing made for salads, wings, vegetables and more
-
Signature wing sauces ranging from sweet and savory to bold habanero heat
-
Garden-inspired seasonings created for vegetables, meats, seafood and everyday cooking
-
Bundle Boxes that make it easier to bring several Mary & Averee favorites home at once
-
Seasonal garden, kitchen and home products celebrating growing, cooking and gathering
Every product has a purpose: helping you create more flavor without adding more work to your day.
Agriculture Is at Our Roots
Mary & Averee isn’t only about what happens in the kitchen. It’s also about understanding where our food comes from.
With decades of agricultural knowledge behind the brand, education is an important part of our mission.
Through our "Never Too Late to Plant" series, we encourage new and experienced gardeners to grow something of their own—whether they have acres of land, a backyard, a patio, a balcony or simply enough room for a few containers.
We share practical information about planting, soil health and fertility, harvesting, water management, plant care and manipulation, and ways to turn what you grow into something delicious.
Because we believe gardening shouldn’t feel intimidating.
If you can start with one plant, you can start a garden.
Made for Real Life
We created Mary & Averee for the person who wants homemade flavor but doesn’t always have homemade time.
For the working mother preparing dinner after a long day.
For the career woman who wants something better than another flavorless weeknight meal.
For the home cook who loves experimenting in the kitchen.
For the new gardener celebrating their first tomato.
For the family gathering around the table on Sunday.
And for anyone who believes food tastes a little better when you know there was care behind it.
Our seasonings, sauces, dressings, jams, pickles and bundles are designed to help you spend less time figuring out how to create flavor and more time enjoying the people you're cooking for.
Carrying the Names Forward
Naming this company Mary & Averee was intentional.
As Shawn Denise’s grandmothers, Mary and Averee represent something that cannot be manufactured: legacy.
Their names remind us that what we grow today can nourish generations we may never meet. A recipe can become a family tradition. Gardening knowledge can be passed from grandparent to grandchild. A kitchen table can become the place where stories, laughter, lessons and memories are shared.
Mary & Averee’s Garden & Home exists to continue that cycle.
We’re growing food.
We’re creating flavor.
We’re teaching people how to grow.
We’re helping families get back into their kitchens.
And most importantly, we’re building something worthy of the two women whose names are on the front of every product we make.
From Our Garden. To Your Kitchen Table.
Elevate Your Home. Transform Your Taste.
