RayAnnVentures

Welcome to the home page of RayAnnVentures.  Donnie Ray & Marsha Ann Bales welcome you to view and purchase their beautiful and tasty homemade jellies, jams and cobblers.  All fruit, berries and peppers are fresh and most are handpicked from the garden.  RayAnnVentures began about 4 years ago and continues to present their products in shows in the Hill Country of South Texas near San Antonio, Texas.  Check the calendar for a show near you or order a sample from our website.  We are sure you will be happy with the taste, texture and colors of the jellies, jams and cobblers.  RayAnnVentures places the labels on the top of a two piece cap so you can view the brillant colors and textures of the product.  Please take a look at the photo gallery and you will see for yourself.  We hope you will stop by our booth to say "Hi" at a show near you, leave us a note in our guestbook, write a testimonial when you taste a favorite jelly and tell a friend where you found us online.  Please take a look at our recent photos (on the right side of this page) and view the slideshow of all of our products.  Not all will be featured in our "Store", but you can call or email us for any of them.  Please visit our "Rates & Services" page then the "Photo Gallery" and the "Store" pages next to select what you like and place your order.  Thanks for shopping with RayAnnVentures.
