Who makes it
One person, one kitchen, and whatever fits in the pot.
Maple Ridge Farms is Tina, working out of a home kitchen in Bowdon, Georgia. Everything on this site is made there in small batches — cooked down, jarred, poured and labeled by hand.
A batch is whatever fits in the pot. That is the real reason things sell out: not scarcity as a sales tactic, just arithmetic. When something runs out it stays out until the next one.
What is on this site is what is on the table at the market — the same jars, the same prices. The bookmarks are Abby’s, made by hand and sold alongside ours.

Things people ask
- How long does an opened jar keep?
- Refrigerate it once it's open. Every jar is labeled with the date it was made — go by the label, and if a lid ever comes to you unsealed, don't eat it and we'll replace it.
- Why is something out of stock?
- Because the batch ran out. Fruit is seasonal and the pot is one size, so things come and go. It will come back.
- Can I pick up instead of shipping?
- Nearby and want to skip shipping? Send us a note before you order. Checkout doesn't offer pickup as an option right now, so it has to be arranged ahead of time — but it is the cheapest way to get a jar, and it means we get to say hello.
- Do you take custom or bulk orders?
- For wedding favors, gift baskets and church events, yes — with a few weeks of notice, since it means scheduling extra batches. Email and ask.
- What is in the candles?
- Soy wax and a cotton wick, poured in small runs. Burn the first one until the melt pool reaches the glass or it will tunnel every time after.
- Are the simmer pot bags edible?
- No. They go in a pot of water on the stove to make the house smell like something. Nothing in them is meant to be eaten.
