DELICIOUS Wyoming Small Town Jams Sell Across The West

While road tripping and exploring with friends, I found myself in the cute little town of Potter, Nebraska. There, on the main street of downtown, was A Collective Gathering. An emporium-style store.

It's always fun picking up homemade treats. That's when I found jars of jams and jellies, which are usually really good because they are made of natural ingredients from the land.

Reading the label of Bear's Pantry blackberry jam, I found that it was made in Carpenter, Wyoming. Carpenter is a small, quiet, unincorporated farming community in southeast Laramie County, Wyoming, with a population of under 100 people. It sits along Wyoming Highway 214 east of Cheyenne at an elevation of 5,440 feet and has operated its own local post office with the ZIP code 82054 since 1907. Bear's is actually featured on A Collective Gathering's Facebook page as their cover photo.

Well, I had to try it. So here is my review.

YUM!
