"We bought a jar of strawberry jam from this cute little store. Maybe a boring choice but one of our favorites. The jam is really good!

Its a little pricey so I like that they let you try the jams before you buy.

I also like that I can pronounce everything on the very short ingredient list."

"This is the kind of shop you would expect in Petticoat Junction where Kate Bradley would have her shapely virginal daughters - Billie Jo, Bobbie Jo and Betty Jo - making the preserves by hand in the back of the Shady Rest Hotel ...and Uncle Joe ...well, Uncle Joe, he's-a movin' kinda slow...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-0YBr-6IxE After a brisk wal..."

"This place is cute, cute, cute! Furthermore, there is something for everybody here. For me, it's the strawberry rhubarb jam. The sour cherry is also tartly enjoyable. I love stopping here for a little condiment taste testing, despite being under the hawk-like scrutiny of the lady who runs the place. You gotta try try it!"

"Adorable place, but I was totally bummed that none of their products (even the mustard!) are made without sugar. Thus, I couldn't partake in any of the fun. Boo. But we did buy a few jars for friends, and enjoyed the friendly countergirl's company for a few minutes while she wrapped our jars."

"Overwhelming selection of Jams and Jellies...this is a tiny place where the slightly brusque salesgal lets you sample almost anything that they sell. Peanut butter, honeys, jams, preserves, sauces/mustards, etc. It's so hard to focus, focus, focus.So I'm here to tell ya. Get the ollalieberry jam. What is an ollalieberry? I have no idea. But apparentl..." Read more

"I wouldn't describe the shop as cute, exactly.  Run down, maybe.  Ill-kept, even--as the sales person spent the length of our stay in the back room on her computer.  But damned if they don't know how to make some good-ass mustard.  Ginger mustard is the bomb--grab some and get out (campfire on the beach is my suggestion--the grocery store in downtown mendoci..."

"Peanut butter is peanut butter, right?  WRONG!The crunchy peanut butter here is superb.  The texture is unlike random store crunchy peanut butter.  You feel like you are actually eating peanuts that had their puree stopped midway through the process instead of regular peanut butter with a few chopped up peanuts thrown in.  We also loaded up o..."

"While I think some of their jams are too sweet, there is something for everyone here.  My favorites were the cranberry preserve, the loganberry jam, and the chutneys.  The mustard's are also delicious and spicy.

Worth walking down to the very end of main street to taste!"
