We believe that producing great food is about more than the ingredients we use. As a small family-run business, we take pride in making exceptional artisan preserves and in the way we work every day. From the ingredients we choose to the way we make, package and deliver our products, we aim to make thoughtful decisions that reflect the values of our business.
Accessibility
We want everyone to be able to enjoy our products and shop with confidence. Our website is designed to provide clear product information, including ingredients and allergen information, helping customers make informed choices before purchasing. If you require any assistance placing an order, have questions about our products or need information in an alternative format, we encourage you to contact us. As a small business, we’re able to provide a personal service and will always do our best to help wherever we reasonably can.
Sustainability
We believe sustainability is about making responsible use of the resources available to us and continually looking for practical ways to reduce waste. Where possible, we source ingredients locally and celebrate Yorkshire’s seasonal produce. For example, our rhubarb is sourced from within the Yorkshire Rhubarb Triangle, and between April and November we use locally grown strawberries when they are in season.
Every product is handcrafted by us in East Yorkshire using traditional small-batch methods, helping us maintain quality while producing only what is needed. We look for opportunities to reuse and reduce waste throughout our business. Suitable cardboard packaging received from suppliers is reused to make the trays we use to transport our products, and we use cardboard boxes and paper-based tape when dispatching orders. Our products are packed in glass jars with paper labels, and we keep our use of plastic to a minimum wherever practical. Where plastic is necessary, such as for catering tubs and pallet wrap, it is used to help maintain food safety and protect products during transport.
Food Safety and Quality
Food safety and product quality are central to everything we do. We develop every recipe ourselves and handle every stage of production, from sourcing ingredients through to cooking, filling, labelling and dispatch. This allows us to maintain consistency and high standards across every batch. To ensure our products remain safe and of the highest quality throughout their shelf life, we independently laboratory test our products to validate their shelf life. We are proud to hold the highest 5-star Food Hygiene Rating, reflecting our commitment to excellent food hygiene practices.
Our Promise
As a family business, our reputation depends on every jar that leaves our kitchen. We are committed to making artisan preserves with care, honesty and attention to detail, while continually looking for ways to improve what we do for our customers, our business and the environment.
