Our Story

3 Generations was started in 2012 in Greenbank, WA on Whidbey Island, by Jan and Becca (a mother-daughter team); with one year old Charlotte (later joined by baby Josephine) Becca’s daughters and jam makers in training.

We built our own Certified Kitchen and moved our base of operations to Anacortes in 2016. As the years have flown past, Charlotte and Josie have grown up a bit; Charlotte started 10th grade in Sept 2026, and Josie entered the 7th grade!The girls now help with fruit processing, and Charlotte is training to do markets next summer when she can drive.

Sadly, Jan, the First Generation, Partner, beloved Mother and Grandmother, passed away in 2019. Now Becca runs the business, with the help of one employee (ironically she is also named Becca). Becca’s Dad, Pete, still runs things for her down on Whidbey doing the Bayview Farmers Market, and wholesale deliveries during the summer months.

We make small batch Artisan Jams and Syrups from local, clean, and/or certified organic fruit we purchase primarily from farmers we know and trust in the nearby Skagit Valley and Eastern Washington. Supporting small farms is one of our primary goals, along with sustainability, and of course, mind blowing flavor!

As always, our Jams are made to really highlight the amazing flavors of all the fresh fruits grown here in Washington. To ensure that our jams transport you with the taste of summer, we use local fruits, minimal amounts of pure cane sugar, a splash of organic lemon juice, and a bit of fruit pectin.
