My story

What the Season Gives Me

I put up whatever is good that week, which means the list changes and sometimes things run out. That is the trade for fruit picked days rather than months before it goes in the jar.

From my kitchen

    What Customers Say About the Jars

    What regulars say.

    The sour cherry is the best thing in my fridge and I have started rationing it. Ordering is two clicks and she confirms the same day.

    Hal W.

    Picked up a mixed box on a Thursday and it lasted two weeks. Labels tell you exactly what week it was made, which I have never seen anywhere else.

    Nina T.

    Ran out of the rhubarb before my order and she messaged rather than substituting something I hadn't asked for. Small thing, but it is why I keep going back.
