WELCOME TO AL's!

We are a small family run business located in Historic Plymouth, Massachusetts. Known as America’s hometown, The Mayflower, Plymouth plantation, and Plymouth Rock are just some of the history that can be found here. Although known for being one of the top historic vacation destinations in the country, Plymouth is also a location full of great natural resource’s. Located on the inside edge of Cape Cod Bay our seafood is the freshest and small local farmers produce everything from beef to berries. We are home to some of the countries oldest cranberry growers, how could we not take advantage of all this and some old recipes to make some great homemade jams!
Our goal at Al’s Backwoods Berrie Co. is to produce the best homemade jams from the freshest ingredients. All our jams are made with local fruit when in season, out of season we buy only fruit sold by reputable suppliers. Our jams are made on site by Al himself, to ensure the freshness and quality of every jar.

HOMEMADE JAMS
We handcraft all of our jams and jellies from scratch using an old family recipe. Al works with local farms and suppliers to ensure we use the freshest, locally sourced ingredients, whenever possible; from farm to table.

LOCAL HONEY
Our raw honey is harvested all over New England. It is harvested during blooming season from different flowers—cranberries from Cape Cod, blueberries from Northern Maine, knotweed from Western MA and Upstate NY, clover from NY. We also have filtered wildflower honey from LA and orange blossom from FL.

JAMMIN' FOR A GOOD CAUSE
We work closely with the Magical Moon Foundation to help kids with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. We donate jams and jellies which you can purchase at their farm stand in Marshfield, MA! All of the proceeds from those sales go to the Foundation.
