Preserving the seasons harvest!

At River Ridge, we cherish the old New England ways that connect us to the land and the seasons. Dakota’s grandmother kept a pantry that was more than practical; it was filled to the brim each autumn with essentials for winter and, of course, jars and jars of apple jelly. Before Dakota could even talk, her mom made elderberry jam with very low sugar. When her family was packing up to head back to Arkansas, where they were briefly living at the time, Dakota was busy in the pantry, quietly removing her mom’s elderberry jam from the milk crate and replacing it with her grandmother’s sugar-laden apple jelly!

While these traditions may be fading for some, we hold them close. After years of talking about it, we launched our "seed to jar" line, creating products that bring these traditions to life—each jar filled with ingredients sown, grown, and harvested from our own fields. It’s our way of preserving the past while sharing the essence of the farm with you, wherever you are, no matter the season. You can truly taste the love and sunshine in these jars!
