Barb managed a number of businesses until she purchased and ran her own for a number of years. Three kids later, she decided to stay home and be a mom. After all the kids were in school, she got bored and started canning in her kitchen to pass her time.

Some of the recipes have been passed down from grandma, others have been picked up here and there and still others have been made up by Barb. You can be certain that all recipes have had Barb’s touch that gives her products that unique and special flavor you can taste today.

Family and friends became the major recipients of her product and kept wanting more of her product all along encouraging her to go out and sell to the public. Her husband gave her the name "Saucy Ladies" because he said she was doing the work of two women and he liked the ring of "Saucy Ladies". With this name and her product, she started her business in November of 1998.

She started slowly going to farmer’s markets and Christmas shows. Today, her business has expanded from canning in her kitchen at home to a certified shop and is growing all the time. Barb is always experimenting and trying new products to add to her already popular line up of pickles and sauces. If you live in Lethbridge, you will also be able to purchase her cabbage rolls and take your pick of her eight flavors of perogies.
