Bantam Bay and Company

Born from a family passion for flavor and a deep respect for traditional preservation techniques, Bantam Bay and Company is a handcrafted food artisan based in Quincy, Florida. Owned and operated by the LaCognata Family — Joseph, Jennifer, Nicolas, and Emelia — this small-batch specialty food maker creates naturally preserved jams, jellies, salad dressings, sauces, soups, fresh pasta, and more.

What sets Bantam Bay apart is the family’s uncompromising commitment to quality. The LaCognatas often head directly to the fields to pick their produce fresh, and every jar is crafted in small batches without artificial ingredients or preservatives. The result is a collection of remarkable flavor combinations that have earned Bantam Bay a devoted following among Gadsden County food lovers.

Whether you are picking up a unique local gift, stocking your pantry with artisan preserves, or discovering the rich tastes of North Florida for the first time, Bantam Bay and Company is a true Gadsden County original.
