MACOMB FARMER’S MARKET
Jelly Jams and More
Last summer Kevin and Susan Long of Bushnell, Illinois started making jelly, jam and salsa just as a hobby. Friends and family began to mention how delicious their creations were, and that they should start their own business.
That’s when the Longs decided to obtain a cottage industry license, and named their new venture Jelly Jams and More.
Kevin, a Keokuk, IA native, and Susan, originally from Industry, will be Macomb Summer Farmers Market vendors this season, after testing the waters at the winter market. The Longs grow some of their own produce and fruit, but when they must, they make sure to purchase from other vendors such as the Amish. Kevin says the other vendors have been very supportive of them and reciprocate by buying their products.
