About TongeLand
Welcome to Tongeland โ where a love for the land meets the heart of the city.
Founded in Chicagoโs Jefferson Park neighborhood, Tongeland is a backyard farm with big roots. Born from a family tradition of gardening and a deep desire to live sustainably, Tongeland brings the richness of the countryside into the rhythm of urban life.
We specialize in small-batch, handcrafted chili pepper products โ from vibrant dried spice blends and infused honeys to pickled vegetables and pepper jams. Every item we create is a celebration of flavor, culture, and care. Grown with intention, processed with integrity, and shared with pride, our products connect people to their food and community.
Tongeland is more than just a farm โ itโs a movement. Weโre committed to:
Zero-waste innovation: Maximizing every harvest to create multiple products with minimal waste.
Food equity: Donating surplus produce and sharing knowledge with local nonprofits and community partners.
Education & empowerment: Hosting workshops and garden tours to inspire the next generation of growers and makers.
Whether sprinkling our smoked chili salt on your dinner or learning how to start a pepper plant from seed, you're part of something bigger.
We're growing more than just peppers โ weโre growing possibilities.

Bright, bold, and bursting with flavor.
Tongeland Farmโs Mixed Berry Jam is a vibrant blend of handpicked strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries, slow-cooked to preserve the true essence of summer fruit. Each small batch is crafted with organic cane sugar and a hint of fresh citrus to highlight the berries' natural sweet yet slightly tart balance. There is no artificial pectin or preservativesโjust farm-grown fruit and real, honest flavor.
Perfectly balanced and rich in texture, this jam spreads like a dream and elevates everything from breakfast to charcuterie.
