*growing organic fruit in the NE is very hard, and therefore there are very few farms that do it, hence the inclusion of low-spray. We feel that local trumps organic: support your local farms!

Blueberries: July 15-August 25
Summer Raspberries: July 15-August 15

Buy Jam at a Store

If  you’re local in the NYC area, we encourage you to purchase directly from us via our own bike delivery service, at one of the many markets where we sell, or from retailers like Green Grape Provisions in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, Lucy’s Whey in Chelsea Market, Manhattan, or any Whole Foods Market in New York City (look for it in the specialty food aisle). We try to be as eco-friendly and local-based as possible; buying local helps support our local stores and food producers,  and maintains a better carbon footprint.
