Nourishment for All

Tammy Jordan invests in the lives of others through her 19-yearold company, Fruits of Labor in Rainelle. When Jordan was 5 years old, she visited a dairy farm and immediately fell in love with the idea of agriculture and having a show farm, and her passion has only grown. Fruits of Labor provides a vast number of programs and opportunities for the community, state, and nation through agriculture and culinary arts.

Jordan’s company has expanded into an agricultural farm-totable program called Seeds to Recovery, which is a nationally recognized American Culinary Federation Quality Program for individuals recovering from addiction. Fruits of Labor also works with other at-risk populations using the same methods. From baking to running the cafe to farming and hosting many retreats, Jordan is passionate about her work with others.

On top of making her community a better place, Jordan is also a writer, a recipient of multiple awards, and the executive pastry chef at Fruits of Labor. Ultimately, Fruits of Labor’s philosophy is to work with the whole person—the mind, body, soul, and spirit—and that’s exactly what Jordan does every single day.
