Jam Good ™ is Taste-Tacular of Middle Georgia’s signature line of natural and organic jams, jellies, and fruit preserves. Each jar captures the bright, honest flavor of ripe fruit at its peak — no artificial colors, no funky stabilizers, and no shortcuts. Our spreads are handcrafted in small batches using time-honored techniques to preserve the fruit’s true texture and aroma, delivering a spoonful of place and season in every bite.
What makes Jam Good ™ Different?
- Real fruit front and center. We use high fruit ratios so each spread tastes like the fruit it’s named for — chunky strawberry, sun-kissed peach, tart blueberry, and more.
- Clean, organic ingredients. Our recipes rely on certified organic fruit where possible, organic cane sugar or minimally processed sweeteners, and pectin from responsible suppliers. Nothing artificial — no high-fructose corn syrup, no artificial preservatives, no synthetic colors or flavors.
- Small-batch craft. Each batch is cooked and tested by our kitchen team to achieve the ideal set and flavor balance, then jarred and labeled by hand for freshness and consistency.
- Versatile & delicious. Perfect on toast, stirred into yogurt or oatmeal, paired with cheeses, glazed on meats, or used in baking and cocktails.
Ethically Sourced — Our Procurement Promise
Jam Good ™ is built on a commitment to people and planet. That commitment guides every ingredient decision:
- Fair-trade practices where available. For ingredients commonly available with Fairtrade certification (for example certain sugars and tropical fruits), we prioritize purchasing from Fairtrade-certified cooperatives and suppliers. Where Fairtrade certification is not available for a specific item or origin, we work directly with growers and exporters who adhere to fair-trade principles: fair prices, transparent contracts, and community investment.
- Direct and transparent relationships. We develop long-term partnerships with smallholder farmers and regional cooperatives (many in the southeastern U.S. and select global partners). These relationships allow us to trace fruit to the source, pay fair prices, and support sustainable harvest practices.
- Ethical sourcing of supporting ingredients. Pectin, spices, and citrus (when used) are sourced from suppliers who can document humane labor practices and safe working conditions. We prefer suppliers with third-party social compliance audits.
- Environmental stewardship. We prioritize suppliers who use regenerative or low-impact farming practices: reduced chemical inputs, water-wise irrigation, and practices that protect biodiversity and soil health.
- Packaging & waste reduction. Our jars are glass and fully recyclable; labels use vegetable-based inks. We favor suppliers who minimize plastic in the supply chain and use returnable or recycled shipping materials when possible.
Certifications & Transparency
We strive to choose certified ingredients (USDA Organic, Fairtrade, etc.) when available and economically feasible for our customers. Where a third-party certification isn’t present, we provide transparent sourcing information on the product page and on request — growers, origin region, and the steps we’ve taken to ensure ethical and sustainable procurement.
