THE FLAVOR OF NORTHERN

MICHIGAN IN EVERY SPOONFUL.

Our Northern Michigan climate is ideal for growing cherries. Cool breezes off the bay temper summer’s heat. In winter, the warmer water protects trees

from winter’s grasp. At Benjamin Twiggs, we select only the very best and freshest of the local bounty to make our jams, jellies, and preserves.

The love and care we put into every jar is easy to see... and taste.
