No but of course people are dragging her for it She is serving up a lifestyle brand so I’m sure she is involved but no she isn’t making it herself she has a chef but well the internet is the internet Well, that's branding 101. If you're putting your name (or brand name) on something in this digital consumer landscape, it's going to reflect on you. This is my experience from working in marketing for a long time, not a specific commentary on Meghan. She might make amazing jam for her kids, idk. Honestly I'll eat any pb&j a mom makes for me because they're the best. How does that happen? It's like the mom factor adds that special something. I don’t understand? so she should be making it? Or just that she should be ready for the push back that she isn’t making it? I don’t believe any celebrity actually makes anything they put their name on. Some are more heavily involved in the day to day I believe but even that most just put their name on something and let the professionals do it

Meghan over the weekend She looks like she's crying and that makes me sad that she was caught at a vulnerable moment. Who is that with her? Polo Nacho’s wife, Delfina. I don’t think she looks like she’s crying, but this photo is very Motorola Razr-y.

From a marketing perspective. The brand look and feel is one that "has people for that." She might be in the kitchen on production day, but the branding would be really different if she was supposed to be making it. In most of the country jam is exempt from most of the canning laws that regulate hot sauce/etc (so it's just a food item). But California is special and I'm pretty sure that jam has to jump through lots of hoops. Her copacker doesn't have to be in California though, so there is that.

Is it just a "curated" quiet luxury thing where she's selecting products to sell? Like, this jam is made in the ARO test kitchen and only 50 jars will be sold? Or is it like Vanderpump rosé and anyone can buy it? I kind of like the idea of her sourcing from small businesses, like the Little Market did. But I'm not sure what the intent here is. As long as it's not fucking yoni eggs like goop.

Is this part of her cooking show or are those two separate things?

I like jam as much as the next person, but it's stupid easy to make and accessible AF at a normal price point otherwise. I put myself through university working at a gourmet food/gift store and the amount of money people were willing to spend on simple items still boggles my mind. Some of our products were worth the prices, but some weren't that different to grocery store offerings except for the designer packaging. It will be interesting to see what the flavor profiles are, and what combinations they come up with. Presentation is a big factor in gift giving though and those jars would be nice hostess or thank you gifts.

I wonder who is making Meghan's jam. California has VERY strict canning laws (as in every batch of canned goods need to be approved by a state official before it's released for sale). So 100% she has a copacker. But it's hard to find a small batch copacker. Maybe whomever is growing the fruit? I don't think that this was necessarily a small batch of just 50 jars. Just that there were 50 promotional gifts sent out and they were numbered to draw up social media interest and as collector's items. These jars were probably just labeled differently than what is going to be for sale.

I really think people are reading too much in the 1 of 50 labels. These are just the initial first look baskets sent out to investors, close friends and supporters who have media influence. I don't think their goal is to be a huge brand, but likely large limited runs of seasonal offerings along side some staple items.
Like a line of linens in standard colors, with a seasonal or holiday print/design offered occasionally.

I feel like we see a lot of pictures of Letiza and Maxima together, but very few of either of them with the BRF. I wonder why.

I have a friend who wrote cookbooks about making jam and preserves (and all kinds of canning and preserving goodies). I think I'd rather have hers? Can you post or PM me the cookbook? Mixed berry or peach jam is basically all I've ever done, so a full cookbook of jam & preserves sounds helpful.
