  Palmetto Canning is a historic jam, jelly and sauce manufacturer in Palmetto, Florida. It was established in 1927 and has operated its present plant location in Palmetto since 1945. It also has a second plant in Seffner, Florida. It produces private label products in bulk plastic containers.
  
  Founded by Capt. John Greenlaw, yacht captain to J.P. Morgan Jr. from 1919 to 1927, Capt. Greenlaw secured a personal loan from Mr. Morgan to fund the creation of a company that could capture the demand for canning Florida tomatoes. Upon his death in 1935, his wife, Minnie, took charge and steered the company through the wake of the Great Depression and Second World War.<ref>https://palmettocanning.com/about-us//ref>
