Our Story
For over a century, jam making has been an intergral part of our family’s legacy. Founded in the 1880’s near the shores of Lake Erie, our Pennsylvania fruit farm has maintained the traditional methods of our grandmothers, creating fruit jams with a fresh-from-the-fields philosophy and using only, pure natural ingredients.
High heat strips jam of its natural flavor and texture. Ice Box Jam takes a different approach—cold-mixed and frozen to preserve what matters most: real fruit taste, balanced sweetness, and a better overall experience.
