The only thing better than enjoying the delicious smell of Braswell's Foods filling the air downtown and enjoying their incredible products is watching the continued and creative growth of this Statesboro staple. Founded in 1946 by Albert Braswell, using his mom's recipe, he began canning and selling pear preserves out of the back of his truck. More than 60 years later, Braswell's of Georgia has grown into one of the country's largest producers of specialty jams, jellies, sauces, marmalades, salsas and several other products.
