Warren and

Carol Muldrow got the idea for the commercial kitchen business a year ago when she started making wine jelly after losing her job in the insurance business. In launching the venture, My Mary’s Jellies, she said it was challenging to find available kitchens for limited food production. The Muldrows signed a three-year lease with building owner John Youngblood. Hours: By appointment. Phone: (417) 343-8751.
