I really do love what I do, from planting the plants to picking the product to bringing it to Market. I have been blessed in so many ways to be able to do it all. Making the preserves is a huge bonus! A real passion of mine! I never thought I would be a jam maker, but I love it! It started about 15 years ago with just two flavors, olallieberry and raspberry. I had excess fruit, I hate waste so I thought I would play around. My family loved it and that was the beginning! Today I make over 20 flavors and have new ones on the horizon. My ideas come from my fans. I feel the key to a good preserve is to have the best tasting fruit at the peak of the season…and I am blessed with that! It’s not all about eating bread these days. Preserves have become mainstream over cheeses, meats, in sauces, over ice cream…
Every day is a blessing for me. Each piece of fruit or vegetable a masterpiece.
I love seeing my customers with smiles on their faces. The dedication week after week, year after year…Thank you for your love and support. It means the world to me!
