A Hudson Valley native, Virginia Lawther has always shared her passion for crafting and creating. Often referred to as "Laura Ingalls with modern appliances", Virginia found her calling through her popular dishes in the kitchen. As she began developing jams for her customers, she realized something even greater. People loved the fun of taking a new flavor profile, and adding it to their own dishes. They began sharing creative ways they used the jam, in cocktails, in desserts…it was a far richer experience than she intended. Virginia Jane uses creative inspirations to cook up exciting flavors from her favorite farms in the tri-state area her Long Island home. Virginia Jane’s Homestead blends traditional and modern techniques, using seasonal produce from the peak of the season.
