About this Product
Who could pass up the crisp, tart taste of homemade rhubarb jam? And when you pair rhubarb with vine ripened fruits such as blueberry, raspberry, peach or cherry, you have a jam any rhubarb lover will desire? It seems like every homestead in our northern climate has a rhubarb hill or two located somewhere close to their home. Our farm now has over 50 hills of red rhubarb and they all originate from the first rhubarb hills my mother and grandmother harvested from many years ago. This wonderfully wholesome and flavorful fruit easily survives the harsh conditions of Minnesota's winters and is one of the first signs of growth in the early spring. We eagerly harvest the tender stalks as they burst from the ground and our family "chomp at the bit" for that first taste of my Red Rhubarb Jam. Rhubarb grows enthusiastically through our summer months and becomes a foundation for many of our favorite jams.

Meet the Maker
Michael is Louisiana born and bred. He married a northern Minnesota farm girl and after retiring from the Air Force he found himself living in the woods of MN where temperatures can get lower than his Louisiana freezers. But he has adapted well.
Dawn is a Minnesota farm girl turned 1st grade teacher. She married her southern man and after he retired from the Air Force they moved back to her family farm. She has a passion for children, gardening and wholesome, simple foods .
After retiring from the military we purchased the farm Dawn was born and raised on in northern Minnesota with the hopes of finding a simpler lifestyle. With a great deal of faith and prayer we began working the land and found our passion. Our gardens grew, our fruit trees grew, our passion grew. We are personally involved in every step of our jelly and herb production. We till our soil, plant our crops, weed our gardens, and harvest our bounty. Our goal is always to provide a product that we would proudly serve on our table, to our friends and family.
We started out with simple vegetables grown for our local farmer's market and that expanded into homemade jams and jellies, artisan coarse ground mustard, herbal products and crafts. As we worked the farm in the summer heat and brutal winters, we soon found a need for quality skin care products and created our lotions and lotion bars.
All our fruits, berries and herbs are grown without chemicals or pesticides and are picked at the peak of ripeness, so the flavor is at its best. My jams and jellies are made with only a few key ingredients, so you won't have any problems trying to figure out what you are eating. They are gluten free, non-GMO, vegan and contain no artificial chemicals and preservatives; but only loads of sun ripened fruit, sugar and gluten free apple pectin Our herbs are also grown using natural, holistic practices and our herb products are also gluten and sodium free and non-GMO.
