Eleanor’s Best is a scrappy Hudson Valley company, located right across the Hudson River from West Point. We make top rated, award winning jams and marmalade the way our grandmothers and great grandmothers made them – slow stirred in small batches. We started this adventure to share the awesome and intense flavors that we grew up with. We come from more than six generations of jammers. Women in ap
rons with favorite knives and big pots taught us to respect real fruits and vegetables. They taught us to eat real food at the peak of the season, and how to put up the best of the season to nourish ourselves and our families throughout the year. We share the bounty of those lessons with you, for you to share with your families. Eleanor's Best sources from our own farm - Mercurio Farms - and other small family farms. We support farmers growing fruit and vegetables the right way - without chemicals - to support their families and feed the world. We stand over steaming pots of jam all the time. We don’t co-pack, which is a fancy word for the commercialization of jam. We hand cut our marmalade; hand wash, sort, and cut our fruit; hand stir our products; and hand pack and label our jars. We produce everything in small batches to control quality. That’s simply how we roll. We know that real food tastes better and we figure that you know it too. You’ll use less of our product and taste more. One third of a teaspoon is enough jam to flavor an entire half of an oversized bagel. All of Eleanor's Best products are naturally vegan and gluten free. You can easily pronounce and understand each of our ingredients.We only use real ingredients, and there aren't many of them. Thirteen of our fourteen flavors have four or less. Our Strawberry Rhubarb Jam has five ingredients, simply because it contains a fruit and a vegetable. Eleanor’s Best also curates our packaging. We use jars from an historic US glass company. Our lids are from an historic US canning company. Our boxes are fully compostable. All of our packaging can be recycled and reused. We want to share the love we feel when we make good, real food. A little jam goes a long way, especially when it’s packed with goodness and flavor. It’s yummier that way.
