Inspired by the pristine nature and agricultural abundance of Maine, this exceptional jam combines the powerful healing essence of wild blackberries with revered medicinal herbs and spices.

Enhanced by warming spices like cinnamon and cardamom, this jam is a therapeutic delight rooted deeply in Maine’s rich herbal heritage.
