FAQ
-
Where are your jams and provisions made?
Every batch is made by hand, by me, right here in my kitchen. Small-batch, copper pot cooking — the same way my family’s been doing it for generations.
-
Do you offer wholesale or bulk orders?
Yep! I offer cases in small quantities to keep everything fresh and true to the small-batch process. If you’re interested in wholesale, shoot me a message — let’s talk.
-
How long do the jams last?
Unopened jars are shelf-stable for about 6-8 months, check the label. Once opened, pop them in the fridge and use within 3-4 weeks — if they even let them last that long ‘cause they’re so dang delicious.
-
Are your products all natural?
Absolutely. No weird stuff — just real fruit, sugar, and the occasional splash of something fun. Everything’s made with simple, honest ingredients.
-
Do you ship outside of Texas?
For now, I ship anywhere in the U.S. — coast to coast. If you’re outside the U.S., reach out and I’ll see what’s possible.
-
Can I customize an order?
I’m always open to special requests when possible — whether it’s custom labels for gifts or larger orders for events. Drop me a note and let’s figure it out.
-
Where did the name L.A. FARM GIRL come from?
I was born and raised in L.A., but my roots run deep in Texas soil. L.A. FARM GIRL is that perfect mix of city hustle and country soul — and you can taste both in every jar.
-
What’s your return policy?
Because my products are food, I can’t accept returns — but if something’s not right, reach out and I’ll make it right. Every jar matters to me.
-
How do I contact you?
Easy — just head over to my Contact page or shoot me an email, hello@lafarmgirl. I’m a one-woman show, but I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
-
Why do you cook in copper pots?
Copper pots heat evenly and fast, so the fruit cooks quicker and keeps its natural flavor and color. It’s the old-school way — and in my opinion, the best way — to make sure every batch comes out just right.
-
Why do you cook in small batches?
Because small batches let me keep an eye on every single jar. It’s not about cranking out product — it’s about making sure every batch tastes the way it should. Small-batch means hands-on, more control, and no shortcuts — just good jam, made the right way.
-
What’s the difference between jelly, jam, and preserves?
Glad you asked — people mix these up all the time.
Jelly is made from just the fruit juice, so it’s smooth with no chunks. Jam uses crushed fruit, so it’s a little thicker with some texture. Preserves keep the fruit in larger pieces or whole, so you get the most texture and bite.
