Description

History

Established in 1946.

In 1946, the mayor of Homer, Hazel Heath, and her husband Kenneth began making jams and jellies from native Alaskan berries in home-​style cooking facilities. They continued producing and selling their jams until 1973 when the company was purchased by Harry and Betty Brundage. It again changed hands when Peter Eden purchased the company in 1975 — and he continues to run it today.

In 1989 Peter introduced chocolate-​covered candies enhanced by the unique flavors of Alaskan wild berries. These new candies, filled with a taste born in the wilderness of America’s last frontier, were an instant hit with locals, tourists, and friends of Alaskans all over the world.
