The Bryant Preserving Story
The time
was 1947. The place was Alma, Arkansas, a small farming community
nestled at the foot of the Ozark Mountains. While standing among
the vegetable patches along the Arkansas River, one could still
see steamboats gracefully cruising by. It was here that Philip
F. Bryant began his business of canning jams and preserves. The
business prospered, and Bryant Preserving Company products became
nationally recognized.
Today, our business has reached its third generation. Although
time and technology have changed many things, our principles remain
the same. The people who craft our products are the most important
ingredient of our success. Our employees take great pride in producing
only the finest gourmet foods - a pride that has been passed from
parent to child - a pride that is rare today.
With over fifty years of experience in the specialty food business,
we know that the quality and value of our selections are what
set us apart from most. We are committed to using these elements
as the foundation of our business for generations to come.

During our Watermelon harvest season,
trucks line up to unload watermelons at our plant. Each
melon is hand-peeled before the rind is separated from
the watermelon heart. This photograph was taken in 1965.

Our 60,000 square foot plant was built
in 1959. Major additions were completed in 1964, and again
in 1976. The large white towers are used to store corn
syrup used in our watermelon process. The rows of open
tanks in the rear of the facility are used to cure our
Tomolives®.
