Abby Waller is a frequent RVANews contributor, AND has a jam business in addition to her actual full-time job? Abby, how do you even do it all! Anyway, she’s always jam-slinging in farmers markets, so we asked her to put together a very homemade gift guide for Valentine’s Day. Fair warning, it includes her jam because it just didn’t seem right to leave it out, it is so delicious.
