Wait a minute…do Cranberries grow in Georgia? No, no - unfortunately, no. However, we don’t let it stand in our way. We have a mission: Make new farmer friends + bring home the best cranberries. Last season, we treated ourselves to a genuine cranberry adventure “up Nawth, in the bawgs ah Cape Cawd.”

We haven’t nailed the accent yet, but we have made some delicious and festive fall cranberry spreads for you to enjoy! Try Kickin’ Cranberry and Poached Pear & Cranberry now. Psst - Lemon Ginger is a fantastic addition to cranberry sauce and other holiday dishes. Need inspiration? Scroll down for an amazing Cranberry Pear & Lemon Ginger pie recipe.

Georgia Jams Harvest Journal

Safe & Clean: Our production areas are properly distanced, our team members safely masked, our cleanliness and sanitation continue to exceed high standards, and more.

Farm to Jam Kitchen: Last October (oh 2019, you seem so long ago), we visited the cranberry cradle of America: Cape Cod, MA. We arrived thinking - hey, we know a thing or two about cranberries: They’re red, they’re sour, they float. But wow - we learned a lot! Flashy helicopter action at dry pick farms, huge water vacuums and booms at wet pick farms, bog hockey, bog skating and a fantastic history of cranberry farming in America. What an incredible day eating everything-cranberry and making new friends at A. D. Makepeace and Flax Pond Farms, and bog-chasing to find active harvesting. We turned a few heads with our “I Love Cranberries” paraphernalia and wow!-wow! expressions, but earned the ultimate compliment - we were out in a drenching Nor’Easter…like real Townies!

Processing & Jam Sessions: Cranberry excitement continues - in the Jam Kitchen. Did you know cranberries…can EXPLODE? You must pierce or smash whole fresh cranberries before cooking, otherwise steam builds up and bursts the berries in a rather raucous display.

Best leave all that dangerous cranberry cooking to Chef Lori, and enjoy a heaping scoop of Kickin’ Cranberry with your turkey - or Tofurkey - and dressing this holiday season. She simmers them in the jam pot - just right, to release a symphony of gentle pops - and adds crushed red pepper, candied ginger and fresh pineapple for a Sweet’n’Sour Smokin’ Good Time. Thank you for your support, and enjoy!

Chef Lori has an affinity for Boston (aka, Bean Town…get it?).
Townies and Out-of-Townies love Cranberries!
