Hello Ladies!!
I’m so excited to share the fantastic news with you! Jennifer Gleason, owner of Sunflower Sundries, has agreed to let us sell her amazingly delicious jams through MaryJanesFarm website. We are so excited about Jennifer’s jams that we want all of you to experience them. Here’s what MaryJane had to say about them:
“I’ve been making jams my entire life, but Jennifer Gleason, an organic farmer from Kentucky, had me on my knees asking, “What’s the secret ingredient in your jams?” “Well,” she said, “it’s what I don’t add that makes them so different. I never use pectin. I cook my preserves at a high temperature and stay right with them as they thicken. Most women simmer their jams slowly. But that darkens them, and they lose their color and flavor.”
Since 1992, Jennifer has been making jams in a commercial kitchen in the basement of her farmhouse. She now makes about four thousand bottles of jams annually.
All the dozens of farmgirl entrepreneurs I’ve met in the last year got me to thinking. What if we flat-out supported each other, no matter what? (If you don’t have someone nearby, most farmgirls are willing to ship their treasures in the mail.) Even if we do shop for organic jams at a health food store, the quality isn’t as good. I can assure you, the flavor and texture of Jennifer’s jams are far superior to anything I’ve found, organic or otherwise. And did you know that companies like Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Dean Foods, General Mills, Heinz, M&M Mars, Unilever, and Philip Morris/Kraft are slowly buying out all your favorite large-scale organic companies? The ones with names such as Ben & Jerry’s, Cascadian Farm, Nile Spice, Back to Nature, Muir Glen, Arrowhead Mills, Health Valley, Celestial Seasonings, Odwalla, Tostitos Organic, Horizon Organic, and Seeds of Change.
When the goods you buy have a farmgirl face, things like loyalty, trust, and a better world come extra and free of charge in every container.”
They come in a pack of 3 jams: Organic Blackberry, Organic Red Raspberry, & Organic Strawberry Rhubarb (my favorite!!!). To see a picture go to: http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/pfoshop/product.asp?dept_id=237&ProductID=30041001.
Enjoy!!!!
