Based in Bowie, Maryland, Gram’s Jams is a family-run, small-batch business specializing in handcrafted jams and relishes made with all-natural, fresh ingredients. Founded by a mother-daughter duo, the brand honors the legacy of “Gram,” the family’s mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, who perfected her jam-making craft as a child on a Michigan farm.
Gram’s passion for preserves grew over the years, eventually earning her a blue ribbon for her strawberry jam at the 2018 San Diego County Fair.
