Jam's & More works closely with both Amish and Mennonite families to bring their home made Jam's, Salsa's and Pickles to your kitchen!
Who are you and what do you do?
One of the most unique things about all of our products is everything we do comes from or is taught to us by the Amish! We work with Amish families throughout the year on a variety of items. From Spring Flowers, Fall Mums, Jams, Salsa, Pickles, Rugs, and other specialty items. We truly value their expertise, hard work, and dedication in everything they do!

What’s the latest thing you’ve been working on?
We are so excited to have started our Amish Large Glazed Donuts! I was personally invited into a home and was taught first hand from an amazing family in Iowa. She has 17 children and wow could they cook! Working side by side with them, learning and baking with them was something I will never forget. In today’s world, we have equipment that allows us to work faster and easier. This was not the case with baking in the home, everything was done by hand, which really made you appreciate the final product!
What do your customers love most about your products?
I really believe that individuals like our story. So many times we are asked questions about the Amish. We are asked the 5 W’s, Who are they? What are the Amish like? When did you start working with them? Why/How did you start working with them? We love sharing our story with everyone. And of course no matter what product we sell, spring flowers, house rugs, jams, salsa, pickles, and our glazed donuts, the quality is amazing!
How did you get started in your business?
Back in January 2018 we began our story with spring flowers and finding the BEST and most knowledgeable people we know, the Amish families. We talked, visited and learned about their processes for growing flowers. Not only are the Amish families amazing farmers, but their cooking is absolutely fabulous! We began sampling their jams, salsa, and pickles! Now we have begun sharing these products with you! We are attending local craft fairs/shows and we couldn’t be more excited!
What has been your favorite moment since creating your business?
It all goes back to meeting and learning from the Amish families! It reminds us and teaches us what our ancestors did and how in today’s society we take everyday tasks for granted.
