Since the beginning in her mother's own kitchen, Jill Gebhart has had one thing that sets her jams, mixes and other goods apart from the crowd; It is all made the old-fashioned way, on top of a stove, hand-stirred, and full of fresh local fruit from places like Baughers Orchard, Westminster, MD or Catoctin Mountain Orchard, Thurmont, MD. As the company grew from a rented kitchen, to a small house and shipping to 1,200 stores nationwide, this promise of taste, freshness, and personality has made "Jill's Jams, Mixes and More" the business it is today.
