HeART of Nelson Artisan of the Month: Rebecca Bryant Moyer

Getting to Know Becky:

Introducing a Bryant Family Farm.

Bryant Family Farm is a fourth generation, Century Farm, located in the Piedmont region in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Nelson County, VA. Our farm and local orchards are full of berries and other gifts from Mother Nature. We use these ultra fresh flavors to make a number of small-batch jams and jellies.

What is the traditional art form or craft you do?

Homemade jams and jellies made in small batches have been enjoyed by generations. I cherish the good times and memories of helping my mother preserve vegetables and fruits for the winter months. Continuing this practice today, I make jams and jellies for friends, family and of course, customers.

What makes your products so special?

I make every jar from long standing family recipes. Each flavor is made using small batch cooking and our flavors extend well beyond toast and bagels although delicious on both. Let your creativity in the kitchen run wild. Use our jams as a base for glazes, dipping sauces, charcuterie boards and so much more.

“I put as much fruit as I can in a jar. And I never use corn syrup.” Becky
