Friend in Cheeses

Late in 2009, after years of creating homemade condiments for numerous wine clubs and classes, Tabitha Stroup decided to produce and sell small batches of her jams. Her first jam business, Tabitha's Appropriate Jams, experienced immediate popularity. As demand surged, she created Friend in Cheeses Jam Company in 2011.

Tabitha has been cooking, teaching and savoring food, wine and curds in Santa Cruz County for over 20 years. This unique region produces some of the best consumables in the world. Tabitha realized that many were not experiencing the vast possibilities of this local, seasonal goodness. Her goal was to help bridge a "pairing gap" by demonstrating the diversity of flavors achieved by exploring combinations using local, fresh ingredients. She discovered that one misses amazing tastes when strictly adhering to food rules.

Tabitha started picking, gleaning and following Mother Nature's lead and created an ever evolving line of seasonal jams, chutneys, jellies, marmalades and pickles. To open a jar from Friend in Cheeses Jam Company is to open a jar of possibilities; the possibility to discover, to invent, to explore and, most of all, to ENJOY.

Borba Farms

Borba Farms is a family owned and operated company based out of Aromas, California. The Borba's have been farming for four generations, beginning with apricot orchards back in the late 1800’s. Ron’s parents, George and Sadie Borba, grew and dried Blenheim Apricots on the same land farmed today. Ron started expanding with bush berries, apples, and squash. After starting farmers markets in 1993, he slowly began experimenting with specialty produce and varieties. Ron, his wife Cindy, and their four kids specialize in growing a wide variety of certified organic produce year-round on their acreage in both Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties. Belonging to a number of farmers market associations, you can find their produce stands at Bay Area and Monterey Bay locations at scheduled markets.
