We Started out by selling Jams, chutney and ketchups we made from our own little orchard back in 2008 to passing trade from our own front garden. A few local businesses saw our potential and started stocking our products. In the past four years our business has grown but we still hand make and finish all our products in small batches to traditional recipes. We still use a lot of our own fruit but
increasingly find we have to raid other orchards in the area (with full permission of course!) and are lucky to count as our friends various National Trust managers and Mrs Banks (President of the RHS) at Hergest Croft Gardens. We have access to many unusual and forgotten fruits such as Medlars, Quince, Bullace. Sloes, Whinberries and Elderberries. We also cater to the more mainstream tastes with our delicious Strawberry and Raspberry jams. Basically no fruit is off limits and we have had much success with Pawpaw, Kiwifruit, Mangoes and other fruits that sadly, we can not grow ourselves but buy from local farmshops in order to support other local businesses. We do not use artificial colours flavours or preservatives and this is reflected in the fresh flavours of the finished product. We supply to the National Trust, local farmshops and tearooms, community shops and local restaurants. Although we are so much busier thesedays, as much care and thought goes into each pot as it did way back when we were selling our wares on a little trestle table on the front lawn.
