Your financial assistance is greatly needed and appreciated as production and the future of my business is close to being halted.
Shares, well wishes and prayers are also greatly appreciated

I started my business in 2000 when friends who enjoyed my jams prompted me to start selling to stores.
I have remained mostly wholesale all of these years.
 My primary sales are to specialty stores, cheese shops, wineries, co-packing for private label and at a few  farmers markets. 

I am a one woman show; I do all of the shopping, cooking, cleaning, canning, labelling, marketing and sales. 

This company is my livelihood, and my sole source of income.

Due to the COVID19 shutdowns, my sales have dwindled to almost nothing.
This has been primarily a turn and earn business, and while  it is a lot of hard work, I 100% enjoy what I do.

I have poured my life in to this business over the last 20 years.
Not only is this my livelihood, but it is also my art.

I do know that with the unforeseeable future, I can not commit to any of the loans that are currently being offered, as I am not sure when or where the next check is coming from.

My general business overhead is not small.
This will help cover the rent for my building, licenses, insurances, utilities, produce, supplies, maintenance and fuel while we are going through this crisis and hopefully fill the gap until business can open up again


 I love all of my stores and  customers and am grateful to have been able to be part of everyones go-to list for years!

XOXO
