RACHELrachel 15 print 150x150 Meet the Blue Chair Fruit Team

Rachel loves fruit! She especially enjoys the months of September and October, when there is such a wide variety of fruits: figs, tomatoes, apples, grapes, stone fruits, and more. Rachel is the creative mind behind BCF and the author of The Blue Chair Jam Cookbook. She also teaches regular jam and marmalade classes in our Oakland kitchen and across the country. Rachel is inordinately grateful to her fantastic staff, which is what makes BCF possible!!

Erin1 Meet the Blue Chair Fruit TeamERIN

Erin is our office and wholesale accounts manager, and keeps Blue Chair Fruit running smoothly. We love Erin's can-do attitude, sartorial instincts, and big smile, and we think our customers do, too. Erin is a big fan of all our plum jams, and majorly swoons for our Greengage Jam. Erin, we're so glad to have found you!

CAITLYNbluedoor1 e1345768343835 Meet the Blue Chair Fruit Team

Caitlyn is an aesthete with a sharp business sense, managing every aspect of our farmers' markets and website from customer service to online marketing to social media. We love Caitlyn's eye for color, her anachronistic pop culture references, and her talent for order. As in her work, her jam preferences fuse the steadfast (Seville Orange Marmalade) and the dreamy (Strawberry-Blackberry Jam with Rose Geranium).

Jo BCF Team 150x150 Meet the Blue Chair Fruit TeamJO

Jo is Rachel's sous-chef, and has brought new levels of efficiency to our kitchen and office! She is a force to be reckoned with: she can pit damsons faster than anyone we know, and is constantly surprising us with freshly baked goodies featuring our preserves. Jo far surpasses the requisite enthusiasm level for our team, and she is especially fond of our Early Girl Tomato Marmalade! We love your energetic contributions, Jo!

ERIKA Meet the Blue Chair Fruit Team

Erika is one half of our dazzling farmers' market team! Her heart is in her hands; having worked on organic farms and gardens in New Zealand and Yucatán, Erika has a natural understanding of fruits' seasonality. We can't get enough of her enthusiasm for Blue Chair's local sourcing and sustainable production! She's as smiling and approachable as her favorite flavor Lemon Pink Grapefruit Marmalade. Welcome to BCF, Erika!
