About

Jamarchist | Jamstress | Jam Queen

Anarchy in a Jar is run by Laena McCarthy, who makes jam, jelly, preserves and chutney in Brooklyn, New York. Laena learned the art of jam making in upstate New York from her mother, who taught her to source local ingredients from small farms and her own garden. After traveling around the world for a few years and awakening to the vast array of senses on planet Earth, Laena ended up back in New York at an opportune time, when there is a revived demand for fresh, local, creative food. With help from her team of tasters, fellow food makers and jam fans, she stirs her eclectic experience into the elixirs of the jar.
