Amour Spreads to Close
I remember vividly the first time I tasted jam from Amour Spreads. It was their Pear Lavender jam and it changed the way (for the better) I thought about jam. Sadly, Amour recently announced they are closing. Via Instagram they said, “Jam lovers, we’ve got some news to share with you and there’s no easy way to say it. We have made the difficult decision to take an indefinite pause on our jam operations. While we are uncertain of what the future holds, this pause is necessary to reflect on our journey, evaluate our processes, and consider the best path forward.”
“To our friends, farmers, customers, and fellow small business owners: thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It has been our privilege to be a part of this food community, sharing our passion for high-quality, handcrafted spreads. Your support has been invaluable to us, and we are deeply grateful.”
“To John and Casee, thank you for dreaming up this little jam business back in 2011. We have made so many amazing connections through this experience and there’s nothing better than seeing someone’s eyes light up when they taste Amour Spreads jam.”
“We’ll be operating until the end of this month so stock up! We’ll be at the @slcfarmersmarket at Pioneer Park the next couple of Saturdays. Our last market will be on September 21. @picnicslc will remain open and there’s plenty of jam on the shelves. We’d love to see you there.”
“Thank you, thank you, thank you for loving these jams as much as we do. With love and so much gratitude, Carly and Vi”
Amour Cafe is now called Picnic.
