OUR STORY

Coddiwomple Canning Company is owned and operated by Kimberly Harrington and Brian Cauley, a married couple who currently live in South Philadelphia, PA.

KIMBERLY

I spent my childhood exploring the woods and frolicking in the flower fields and pastures behind my house. Growing up my Mom would make fresh, homemade meals every day when she got home from work, and my Dad pasture raised beef cattle in his spare time. These thoughtful efforts helped express the importance of local, sustainable ingredients. My first job was at an ice cream shop and customer service came easily and was fun for me. I moved to Philadelphia in 2007 and began working in fine dining restaurants. The theater and energy of a dinner service at a restaurant is electric; it’s what drew me to the business.  Restaurants offer a space for people to share time, memories and a good meal with loved ones. I feel fortunate to have found a profession that brings joy to myself and others. 

BRIAN

Throughout my life my parents have had a decent sized garden, so I looked forward to homegrown summer vegetables every year. Growing up, I spent a lot of time outdoors and we would take family camping trips often. Some of my earliest memories are of picking high bush blueberries in the backyard of my Grandmother's trailer in the Pocono Mountains. When I got older, my first jobs were in restaurants washing dishes, and later in high school, as a line cook where I realized I loved cooking. A couple years after high school I enrolled at Johnson & Wales University’s Culinary School in Providence, Ri. After graduating with a degree in Culinary Arts, I moved to Phoenix, Az., in 1997 where I worked my way up the ranks in the kitchen. Eventually working as an Executive Chef for the last few years before moving to Denver, Co. in 2004. I relocated to Colorado for the opportunity to open new restaurants as General manager and then later Operations Manager. In 2010, I decided to move back to Philadelphia area to be closer to family and to have a better personal/professional life balance.
