We are a small batch producer of seasonal gourmet jams and baked goods.
Our name represents our belief of using only the best and finest organic and natural ingredients. The first of the season. The finest from the orchards and fields. Preserved and reserved for you to enjoy.
We are committed to using the freshest in-season, natural or organic produce. Our goal is to use as many certified organic ingredients as we can find. Our Baked good are all-natural with no preservatives, and contain many organic ingredients.
We use a two tier approach when purchasing our ingredients. The first being those ingredients that are “certified organic” and are labeled as such with the certified organic seal. Because we are also committed to supporting our local economy and know that many local farmers do not have the resources to obtain an organic certification, we also purchase some fruit from trusted local farmers that follow organic growing practices. Produce purchased from trusted local farmers is labeled as “natural” on our ingredient list. We know this is good for our local economy, our environment and our health. Of course it also makes the best jams and baked goods!
Our jams are produced without the use of Pectin, SureGel, Corn Syrups, or other additives. For more information about pectin and corn syrup start with this information courtesy of Wikipedia:

We use organic based cleaning supplies and recycle all waste. Most of our jars are purchased from a local supplier based in downtown Milwaukee, WI. Our printing is contracted locally, and we print on recycled paper whenever possible.
Please help us in our commitment to the environment and recycle the jars. Consider returning your empty jars to us at any of our markets and we will buy it back for 50 cents.
Our current markets are in Milwaukee and Waukesha in Southeastern Wisconsin.
