The folks at JamAlula love fruit. Luscious, dewey, vine and tree-ripened, naturally sweet or intensely sweet/tart -- there's nothing like fresh fruit. They aim to capture each season at its peak with handcrafted, European-style jams using heirloom or vintage varietals like blenheim apricots, Elephant Heart plums, McHenry peaches, red raspberries and more. Their fruit is sourced locally from farmers who use organic growing methods. Simple, pure, low sugar jams, with no added sugars, pectin or preservatives. Their belief is simple: selecting the best fruit and treating it with gentle care will create a delight for the soul and palate

When Johan Camilo "Cam" struggled to keep up with his health, he found CrossFit and quickly found that he needed a better diet; that's when he found Out of the Cave, a Paleoish food truck.

In February 2019, Cam took over the business and made it exclusively available online built a more robust online presence. He dedicated himself to his clients by making available a weekly meal service giving his client more support with their daily lives by providing them with healthy and yummy food.
