MY STORY
Hi! My name is Jennifer and I am the founder of Joyful Valley. Thank you for choosing our company! I genuinely hope our tasty products bring you true enjoyment in your everyday life -- take a moment out of your busy life and just find a moment of joy.
​
I am passionate about making and creating high quality, real food, that not only tastes amazing but are also 100% natural. Our families deserve that! I have been cooking and baking for as long as I can remember. From Southern Pound Cakes and Pumpkin Breads with my Nana, to Apple Brown Betty's and Povitica with my Mom, I have cherished every second of learning from the beautiful women in my family. I love spending time in my home kitchen creating and dreaming up new and creative sweet and savory treats.
This past year, I competed at both the Los Angeles County Fair and the Orange County Fair in categories from canned goods to cookies, candy and cakes. It was one of the best experiences of my life! At the LA County Fair, I am so proud to have won the overall Sweepstakes Ribbon, 2 Best of Division ribbons (Cake division and the Bread/Muffins Division) and 10 blue ribbons. At the Orange County Fair, I am proud to have won 1 Best of Show Ribbon (for my Torrone), 2 Division Winners (Canned Pickles and Canned Strawberry Caramel), 2 Culinary Excellence ribbons, 2 Judges Awards (Mango Chutney and Onion Marmalade) and 13 Blue Ribbons.
