The Jam Farm

The Jam Farm, located less than a mile away from Lake Michigan in Ludington, is the place to get all the best jams, jellies, butters, marmalades, and other homemade goodies!

In season, Lois Gieleghem makes jam almost all day, everyday.

She’s always busy around the Jam Farm, coming up with new recipes and keeping her delicious homemade jams in stock. Lois uses heirloom recipes passed down through the family. Only the finest, freshest ingredients are used- no artificial flavors, colors, or chemical preservatives. All the fruit used in the jam recipes are fresh, local, and in season. “From farmers fields and orchards, to our kitchen, to you.”

More than 30 Flavors of Homemade Jams & Butters!

Lois is always busy, keeping her shelves full of over 30 different delicious flavors of her homemade condiments. Depending on the season, some jams may not be available if they have sold out, until that fruit season comes around again.
