  Rowena's Gourmet Foods
Price: $9.50 each
Three backyard fruit trees sparked what is to day a thriving gourmet food business for Rowena Fullinwider, founder and president of Rowena's, Inc., in Norfolk, Virginia. As word spread about the "cake lady," requests for Rowena's specialty foods exceeded the capabilities of her kitchen. Rowena opened her gourmet manufacturing facility in May of 1983 and in 25 years, her facility has grown to 18 employees, a retail store, staff offices, call center, tearoom, two spacious kitchens and two warehouses.
Rowena's has been featured in national publications such as Lady's Home Journal, Gourmet, Bon Appetit, Taste of Home and Southern Living, and has appeared on Food Finds on the Food Network, QVC, The 700 Club and The Today Show. One of Virginia's governors also honored her by declaring February 20 as "Rowena Fullinwider Day."
The author of two children story adventure cookbooks, in 2003 she added Celebrate Virginia! to her list of publications.
Choose from six different sauces and jams. Each jar comes with brief suggestions for use or delicious food pairings. Or experiment with them on your own!
