"Hi, I'm Jordene, and Backriver Blends is my way of sharing the bold, authentic flavors of Jamaica with the world. When my daughter was diagnosed with severe food allergies as a baby, everything changed. Living in Maine now, inspired by the local artisan products, farms, and quality craftsmanship, I knew I could create something everyone—my daughter included—could enjoy without restrictions. That’s how Backriver Blends was born."
