about our preserves
We spend the year chasing the seasons making small batches of preserves, (Pickles, Jams, Chutneys, Hot Sauce and Jellies) through traditional canning and fermentation methods. We support our local, Ontario Farmers and we use only the finest Ontario produce in all of our preserves.
We package all of our preserves in mason jars which are reused to help the earth and to keep our costs in check. We use minimal labelling on our jars to enable the preserves to shine.
