Homemade in Palos Verdes

Sunshine in a Jar

Peelz is small-batch jam made from whole fruit and simple ingredients — started by a teenager with a lemon tree in his backyard.

100% of the profits from every jar go to the Young Entrepreneurs Fund, awarding grants to young startup founders in the South Bay of Los Angeles.
