Alchemist’s Jam

This is my favorite bakery in all of Oregon. I welcome anyone to send me anything better. Get there early to get the full selection. There isn't seating inside, so you may be packing them up for home, though I doubt they'll make it there. Oh, make sure you grab a jar of jam. That's where it all started.
