We’re Joshua and Jodi Banks — husband and wife, parents of four, and founders of Harvest Syrups. We launched this brand with no money, no investors, and no blueprint — just a big dream, late nights in our kitchen, and four little ones cheering us on (or sometimes climbing the counters while we bottled syrup 😅).

Harvest Syrups is a family business in every sense. Our kids have watched us build this from scratch — not just a brand, but a way of life rooted in faith, creativity, and resilience. Every bottle we sell carries that spirit.

But behind the syrup is an even deeper story. I (Joshua) never made it past the third grade. I was pulled out of school and didn’t return until ninth grade, starting again with a third-grade education. I was never supposed to succeed — let alone build a business with my wife and raise a thriving family.

This syrup isn’t just about flavor. It’s about family. It’s about faith. And it’s about proving that zero percent doesn’t mean impossible.

And now — with every bottle sold — you help support the Graduate Anyways Foundation, our nonprofit dedicated to spreading encouragement and hope that every child, anywhere, can graduate — no matter their starting point.

Harvest Syrups is more than a product. It’s a movement. And we’re just getting started.
