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.

Put Up by Hand, a Batch at a Time

A few things that have gone out lately.
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."

Questions
The things people ask before a first order. If yours is not here, just message me.
How do I order?
Pick what you'd like and a date on this page and send it over. I'll reply to confirm, and take payment when you collect or when I drop it off.
When do I pay?
Not through the website. I confirm your order first, then take payment on the day: cash, card or transfer, whatever suits you.
How much notice do you need?
Check the date picker on this page. It only shows dates I can still take, so if a date is there, I can make it.
Is your kitchen inspected?
I bake from home under my state's cottage food rules, which is why you'll see the notice on this page. Ask me anything about how I handle and store what I make.
Can you work around allergies?
Tell me what to avoid in the notes when you order and I'll be straight with you about whether I can do it safely. My kitchen isn't allergen-free, so for a serious allergy I'd rather say no than guess.
What if I need to change or cancel?
Message me as early as you can. Before I've started baking it's no trouble at all.
Message me about custom orders, allergies, or anything that doesn't fit the form.
