History
Genuine Jersey was launched in 2001 to promote the diversity and quality of local produce and products.
Since the association started, it has attracted a loyal and enthusiastic membership. While some members ensure the survival of Jersey’s heritage and traditions, others are at the forefront of introducing pioneering farming methods, new crops or exploring previously untapped international markets.
Today the Genuine Jersey mark is seen as a byword for the best the island has to offer, and Luxury Jersey Hotels are delighted to support it.
