Handcrafted in Jacksonville, FreshJax Organic Spices began in the kitchen of Jason and Hillary McDonald. In 2011, the couple began making organic sauces and spices and selling them at their local farmers market on the weekends while attending graduate school. As customers requested new items, their product line continued to grow and the McDonalds worked around the clock to fulfill orders. By the end of 2012, both Jason and Hillary had begun working full time for FreshJax.
Today, the growing family business includes a product line featuring flavors from around the globe. They offer more than 30 spice blends made with certified organic ingredients and more than 40 organic single-ingredient spices while fulfilling their mission to excite taste buds, inspire healthy living and end childhood hunger. For every gift set or two large bottles sold, the company donates one meal to a child in need. They have now donated over 200,000 meals to hungry children around the United States.

Giveaway
This giveaway was featured in the January/February 2021 edition of the magazine and has now ended. Thanks to all who participated!
I’m always looking for healthy organic products, as well as trying to support local, family owned businesses in my area.
I love the “new” magazine!! It made me have a new/different attitude/mood when reading it — more modern and attuned to today’s farm families. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! Happy to hear you’re enjoying the magazine.

What a great way to try your product and do it in a natural way.

Hello FreshJax! I’d love to help you fulfill your mission of exiting taste buds! I’m ready to be excited and inspired! Love your story. Wish you much success.
I’d love to support a local spice company and the spice set would be a great way to get introduced to some of the available mixes! My boyfriend is much more adventurous with mixing spices and this would help me branch out of my comfort zone.
At first, I was thinking that I have a new subscription for a new magazine, but then I realized that it was a REBRANDED one from the Florida Farm Bureau. I totally love the new look, the articles were great, and the layout has wonderful continuity. Congratulations on the launch!
Thank you so much for the kind words! So happy to hear you’re loving the new look.
