Small Business Grant FedEx Competition
UPDATE:
FEDEX WILL MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT ON 3/31/21-
Thank you for all your votes!! Fingers crossed!
I entered a small business contest on FedEx!
Between now & March 24, 2021 PLEASE go online & vote for Ojai Jelly!
One vote per day, per person- TELL your friends & Ojai Jelly fans!
I started my business on a shoestring in 2010. I had a stroke in 2007, which led to heart surgery, then falling & severely fracturing my sacrum… No fun at all but I’m here & I’m smiling
(most of the time)- Bottom line: I really needed a job!
You can read more about me here if you’d like to.
This is me before I had a stroke- it left me unable to walk or talk. I was 48.
Thank GOD I’m fully recovered & perfectly capable now. I’ll be 62 on Saint Patricks Day!
Fast forward to 2021, I sell in every state in this GREAT country of ours, +
in two villages in Baja, Mexico!
The small business FedEx contest limited me to 1000 words INCLUDING spaces-
so I couldn’t elaborate…
I’d LOVE to win the grant!! With your daily votes I might be able to do just that!!
If I win, here’s what I’d like to do:
→Enjoy more shipping with FedEx Ground and possibly expand to FedEx Express
→Print my logo on my shipping boxes so they can advertise my company as they’re en-route
→Have new banners made
→Have large magnet logo signs made to use on my vehicles
→Print more business cards
→Print more recipes for y’all
→Maybe I’ll even have my pepper logo printed on all my “Jelly Roll” tubes
→Possibly have t-shirts, masks, hats, mugs, water bottles printed with my logo!
♥I recycle, repurpose & reuse clean materials in the safe shipping & packing of Ojai Jelly.
I drive the truck, I unload the cases (usually alone), especially during the ongoing pandemic.
Thank you for your time, for your vote & especially for supporting my small business!
My business is one-woman strong! Me!
The possibilities are endless & I don’t shy away from hard work!

“We create radically seasonal and impeccably sourced cheese, cured meats, crudité and fruit boards. We are 100% woman-owned and family operated. We source all our products from American makers we love and respect.”
This family run business is nothing short of AMAZING!
When Covid 19 hit Los Angeles so hard they did everything they could every single day to help local farmers that were not able to sell their products at the farmers markets, which in turn helped so many people in the area and beyond get fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables each and every week.
This identical twin duo and their wonderful team warms my heart and I am so proud to know them and do business with them. Their creations are ART, edible ART-
Houston, we’ve solved the problem!
At long last Ojai Jelly has arrived at We Olive Houston!!
