If you're looking for a really unique gift, look no farther than Willa's Shortbread. And for those who like it HOT, their Nashville Hot Cheddar has a 15-second burn cycle that just keeps getting hotter and Hotter and HOTTER, and then it plateaus!

The Tennessean encourages readers to "Spice it up" when choosing a gift for Dad this holiday season and, at JMT, we think that's a terrific idea! 

"For the dad who likes to cook — or grill — J.M. Thomason rubs add easy flavor to any meat. The rubs are made in Franklin, and flavors include Bourbon BBQ, Gaucho Espresso and Porterhouse Steak…" --Jen Todd

Southern Exposure features "Neighborhood: Local Products"

 

A special word of thanks goes out to Polly Bibb Douse for including our JM Thomason blends in her recent article spotlighting local products

In Polly's words, "Williamson County is brimming with talented food connoisseurs from beef jerky to specialty spices to cured hams to hot sauces and everything in between to hit the local and national market.  We had the incredible opportunity to e-interview local neighborhood legends leading the food community."

We couldn't agree more, and were honored to be included alongside Greer's Tennessee Country Hams, Cool Jerk Beef Jerky, and Zombie Cajun Hot Sauce.

Spice blends that give back...

JMT is so very proud to partner with Heifer International as they work to help Cardamom farmers in Guatemala brave destructive pests, deadly snakes and predatory markets to grow and sell one of the world’s most expensive spices - cardamom. 

We hope you'll take a moment to consider the plight of the Mayan farmers by reading this informative article from the World Ark magazine and join us as we strive to make a difference.

We have just released three new spice blends and one of them, Gaucho Espresso, uses cardamom grown by farmers participating in the Cardamom project and sold directly to our company, bypassing the "coyotes," netting the farmers a better price!

Thank you for supporting our efforts and those of Heifer International...

McKinley
