About Us
Founded in the summer of 2008, Winding Drive specializes in gourmet jams, jellies and marmalades. The product is made by hand in small batches and is characterized by unique flavor combinations, as well as traditional fruit flavors. When selecting fruit for their jams, Fran Adams and Ron Pinto, the husband-and-wife founders’ team, place an emphasis on seasonally fresh Connecticut-grown fruit. And how did this get started? “Ron’s job in sales and marketing was eliminated in the spring of 2008. Idleness is not part of his make-up, he needs to be busy, “ said Ms Adams. A self-taught cook, she saw on opportunity to sell home-made jam. They registered for the Woodbury Farmers Market – and within the first hour, all the jam had been sold! Customers loved the locally-grown, no-preservative, jam.While working full-time in the Hartford insurance industry, Ms. Adams continued to make several batches of jams every week. And the customers continued to buy. As they say, the rest is history. Today, a company has been formed; flavor combinations developed; a commercial kitchen installed; retail distribution is a reality. Ron and Fran are busy!Winding Drive
