About AJ Peck Company

AJ Peck Company

Based in Altadena, California, has a rich history rooted in family traditions and a passion for creating delicious homemade preserves and cookies. The company was founded by husband and wife team Alan and Jamelle Peck, who have turned their love for gardening and baking into successful home-based cottage food businesses.

Alan Peck's journey began with cherished childhood memories of his grandmother's guava jelly, made from guavas grown on the family farm in Jamaica. Inspired by his family's love of gardening and the abundance of fruit in his backyard, Alan learned the art of preserving fruit and started gifting his homemade pomegranate jelly and orange marmalade to friends and family. As demand for his preserves grew, "Peck's Preserves" was born, offering natural, preservative-free jams made from home-grown ingredients.

Meanwhile, Jamelle Peck discovered her passion for baking at a young age and spent years perfecting her cookie recipes. Her famous "Straight Dough" butter sugar cookie quickly became a household favorite among friends and family. Encouraged by the overwhelming response to her cookies, Jamelle launched the "Straight Dough Cookie Company", offering a variety of delicious cookies made with all-natural ingredients.

Both companies are subsidiaries of AJ Peck Companies, dedicated to providing high-quality products that reflect the couple's commitment to using only natural ingredients without any preservatives. With a focus on preserving family traditions and sharing their love for homemade treats with others, AJ Peck Company continues to grow as a testament to Alan and Jamelle's dedication to creating delicious preserves and cookies that bring joy to every customer.

From humble beginnings rooted in cherished family recipes to thriving cottage food businesses, AJ Peck Company is committed to delivering exceptional products that capture the essence of homemade goodness.
