Jam Farm

We make sweet &/or spicy jam, bread,dip mixes, homemade granola. Visit our farm, taste samples of our products, check out our gift baskets!

We are a Michigan fruit grower with 40 acres, less than a mile from Lake Michigan.  The fruit we use comes from our farm or from other dedicated farm families in this area.  Our products taste unique because we take the time to capture the true tastes of West Michigan fruits.  All of our products are made when the fruit is fresh and in season; therefore we have limited quantities.  We preserve as much as we can in the time we have.  If you see something that you really enjoy get it soon because it may not become available again until the following year.  We use heirloom recipes, passed down through the family.  Only the finest ingredients are used, no artificial flavors or sweeteners or chemical preservatives.

From the farmers fields and orchards to our kitchen to you.  Hope you enjoy these products and look forward to serving you soon.
