About Us
We are a husband and wife team: Michael makes everything, while Deborah runs the office and sells everything.
Most of our ingredients are peeled and chopped by hand to create an excellent texture. We also stir and jar by hand in small batches. Our traditional and time consuming methods result in national award winning products with unique bite, flavour and colour.
Sourcing Policy: local where possible and often direct from the grower.
- Herbs, some tomatoes, some apples and rhubarb from our garden.
- Apples from local and expanding private orchards, taking more as they mature.
- Beetroot from neighbouring farmers.
- Crab apples from various villages on the Roseland Peninsula.
- A few Cornish Quinces from Sara Paston-Williams' orchard on Bodmin Moor
- Some onions.
- Kea plums direct from Coombe, on the Fal Estuary near Truro.
- Cider vinegar, cider and Lord of the Isles apples from Cornish Orchards at Duloe.
- British Sugar: we like to use sugar made from British grown sugar beet when we can.
Our policy is to support Cornish growers and suppliers where availability allows. Beyond the Tamar we buy Victoria plums from English orchards in Worcestershire, quinces from Kent and East Anglia. We keep an eye on our waste by reusing and recycling packaging, and composting peelings and vegetable waste. Our leaflets are printed on recycled paper.
