There is something special about strawberry jam—it is instantly nostalgic. Perhaps it is the red, perhaps it is the humble flavors of the jam, or the action of spreading it on toast, but whatever it is strawberry jam is undeniably nostalgic.

It is time for the annual jam making. Strawberry season has come and gone here in Kentucky, and it was savored for those fleeting weeks of daily pickings. The jam we make becomes the reward of the season, a reminder of how delicious life in season is.

This is our annual week of offering the farm fresh jam to you. Shipped from the farm, where the berries were grown (commercially “jammed” elsewhere of course) to your kitchen table, wherever that might be.

This year we made a smaller batch that usual as we are only offering this jam for a single week. If you would like the very best strawberry jam you’ll find, made just like your grandmother did, order today. It will ship the same day it is ordered.

When I was a kid we grew strawberries here, just as we do now, all in the spirit of my grandmother growing them years before, long before I was born. The inspiration for the annual strawberry jam offering came from the deep-freezers full of freezer jam from my childhood, the stacks of wooden strawberry crates, and the stories of my grandmother growing strawberries with abundance during her house wife years.

These days the strawberries are grown the same way and in the same place. I wanted to create something that felt like it truly came from this farm and is a part of my own history. The jam is, in my opinion, the best strawberry jam you’ll find…because of how simple and classic the recipe is.
