Jams and Jellies
MEET THE FOUNDER
Megan Carpenter
Jacked Jams was founded in 2022 by Megan Carpenter. Megan has been making jam with her family since the early 90s. It has always been part of the Carpenter family tradition to make jam completely from scratch, from field to jar. In 2021, Megan decided to take their family tradition to the next level! Strawberry is the first flavor that she learned to make from her grandmother, but all of the other recipes are completely her own. While Megan no longer picks all of the fruit by hand, she sources as much as she can locally from Baugher's Orchard, Agriberry Farms, Weber's Farm, Albright Farms, and more. Lastly, if you are bulking, cutting, or type 2 diabetic, Megan has a jam for you! Megan has taken it upon herself to master no-sugar-added strawberry jam that is sweetened naturally with monkfruit. It is only made upon request, so send her a message to try it out!
Megan is well known in the community for being multifaceted as a personal trainer, boxing coach, DJ, and indoor cycling instructor. She decided to combine her love of jam and fitness into one, creating the idea of Jacked Jams! Each flavor of Jacked Jams has a funny fitness-related name and cartoon character. Megan collaborates with a local artist, Andreas Kremer, to make all of the Jacked Jams characters come to life. You can check out all of these funny little guys on the Fit Fruit page to explore the full flavor profile of each jam! If you are looking to get your sweat on, you can come out to take a fitness class with Coach Megan on her weekly class schedule below. She is sweet, but spicy- and will kick your butt in class for sure! Stay Jacked Baltimore!

Values
Megan values two main things when it comes to running her business- sustainability and community. With Mother Earth as her first love, Megan makes sure to use vegan pectin, to source her ingredients as locally as possible, and to use sustainable packaging. You can check out the FAQ page on how to return your jars for reuse and great discounts! On another note, Megan enjoys giving back to the community by using her business as a resource for fundraisers, to sponsor athletes, and to uplift other local businesses. She loves to promote her talented friends and other Maryland makers to collaborate and spread the love. You can check out her photographer, Rip Goodman, and graphic designer, Andreas Kremer below! Keep an eye out for her collabs with other local makers! If you want to collaborate with Megan, feel free to contact her via email at Jackedjamsllc@gmail.com
