Worthy is a Calgary-based jam and preserves company founded by Ashlee Steinhauer. In 2014, Ashlee became passionate about making jam while in a 12-step recovery program. A couple years later, Ashlee started to get her zest for life back and decided to focus on making jam full-time. The importance of recovery is the backbone of Worthy. Ashlee wanted a name that related to addiction and the recurring theme she noticed of addicts feeling unworthy. She experienced how the stigma that surrounds addiction can affect an individual's self-worth. Ashlee uses her platform to normalize conversations about addiction and aims to make every jam-lover feel Worthy.
Worthy’s jam flavours include Earl Grey Lavender Peach, Strawberry Cardamom, and Vanilla Rhubarb. These flavours are what make Worthy jams distinct. Our customers enjoy that the jams are not your average jar. Worthy jams are made without artificial sweeteners, flavours, and colors. They are vegan, gluten-free, and made with natural citrus pectin and organic cane sugar.
Long story short, it means we care. We have partnered with Pachira Social Enterprise to help empower giving.
Pachira is a social enterprise that integrates daily purchasing with the power to give in ways that work for you.
Pachira users shop to earn funds in their giving accounts which they can then donate to as many social causes and charities as they want!
