One of the first specialty food companies in Vermont, Sidehill Farm started in the 1970’s when Dot and Ben Naylor resurrected old family recipes for artisanal jams and began producing them for friends and family. Their children spent many summer afternoons picking raspberries for those first jam batches. Folks appreciated the unique way Sidehill Farm makes their jam: No pectin or artificial ingredients, just boiled-down fruit and sugar, handmade and hand-stirred, which produces a jam with more fruit and more flavor in every bite. Before long Ben and Dot began making jam full time for specialty food shops throughout Vermont.
In 2000, Dot and Ben passed on their jam-stirring spoon to their son Kelt and his wife Kristina, allowing Kelt to fulfill his dream of moving back to Vermont after working in high tech manufacturing in the Boston area.” -Kelt and Kristina Naylor
