Backriver Blends is a Maine-born, mom-made brand crafting bold, all-natural Jamaican Jerk Marinades.

Small-batch, inclusive & allergy-friendly — made to gather everyone around the table. 🇯🇲🫙✨
✅ Plant-based
✅ Gluten-free
✅ Soy-free
✅ Nut-free Backriver Blends started in my Maine kitchen out of pure frustration — the struggle of finding bold, delicious flavors that were safe for my family’s food allergies was exhausting. I wanted everyone at my table to feel included, not left out. So I created sma

ll-batch marinades that are all-natural, allergy-friendly, and full of real, bold, Jamaican flavor. No stress, no guessing, just great food that brings everyone together.

Recipe of the week!

Roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, crisp cabbage, lime, and a little Backriver Blends magic.

Our Maine Blueberry Jamaican Jerk Marinade brings warm spice, subtle sweetness, and bold island flavor to these easy plant-based tacos. The sweet potatoes soak up the marinade beautifully, while the cabbage slaw keeps every bite fresh, bright, and satisfying.

This is the kind of weeknight meal that proves comfort food can still feel colorful, fresh, and good for the body.

Trying something a little different today 😅

As small business owners, we love our customers deeply… but let’s be honest, there are definitely things we think and never say out loud.

This one is all in good fun, but behind the humor is the real work of building a business: showing up, serving people well, learning as we grow, and creating products we’re proud to stand behind.

Let us know if you like this kind of behind-the-scenes small business content and want to see more of the real, funny, and honest moments behind Backriver Blends.

Our very first farmers market at the Greenway Artisan Market was a little breezy, a little chilly, and absolutely wonderful. The winds had other plans for us today, but nothing could cool the warmth we felt from the incredible vendors and new customers who stopped by our table. To everyone who braved the cold to taste a little Jamaica — thank you. You made this moment unforgettable. 💚 A special thank you to my husband TJ — for always showing up, setting up, and standing beside me. This one’s for you. 🙏🏾
