Why Jams?

I remember growing up with my mom making amazing jams in the kitchen. Even flavors that I thought sounded terrible turned out delicious. In particular, I remember the Strawberry Rhubarb jam and how it wonderful it was on hot biscuits. I wanted to pay homage to that memory and take it to the next level. So I pulled out my canning recipes and looked to the internet and local restaurant menus for inspiration. I wanted something unique but flavorful. The amazing combinations are what inspired me to share them with everyone.

Why City Farm Foods?

I grew up in the Atlanta area where my parents were always planting stuff in the yard. It was usually flowers and the occasional tomato’s. I like being close to great dining and shopping. My husband likes space and land. He enjoys growing things that we can eat and use. We tried living close to town on a postage stamp sized property and we tried living on an acre of land about 45 minutes from the city. Neither worked well for us. A compromise. We moved in the city limits but on a half acre. He built a raised vegetable garden, planted some apple trees and blackberry bushes, and then built the chicken coop. So now we have a city farm.
