We are a husband and wife team, based in mid-Cornwall. Almost everything is chopped by hand, stirred with a wooden spoon and cooked in small preserving pans, this gives our products their unique textures and flavours. 

We source as many of our ingredients locally as possible:

• Herbs, some tomatoes and some apples from our garden.
• More apples from local private orchards nearby and we are often invited to pick first. 
• Beetroot from neighbouring farmers.       
• Crab apples from the Roseland Peninsula.
• Some onions.
• Kea plums direct from Coombe.
• Cider vinegar, cider and Lord of the Isles apples from Cornish Orchards at Duloe.
• British Sugar: when we can we like to use British grown beet sugar.

Cornwall doesn't grow the full range of ingredients needed, so we look further than the Tamar, to the orchards and growers of Worcestershire (damsons and Victoria plums) Kent and Essex for quinces. 

Some ingredients are not produced in the UK, dried fruit, spices and citrus fruits then local wholesalers and suppliers who understand business in Cornwall supply us. Buying locally helps to sustain the local community. One of our major fruit and vegetable suppliers also wholesale Crellow catering for us often delivering raw fruit or vegetables at the same time as collecting pails of chutney for their customers.

Our accountants, lawyers, designers and printers are all local and we appreciate the quality of their services. 

We compost our peelings and waste and recycle packaging whenever we can: almost all the cardboard boxes delivered here are sent out again with orders in! We make as much use as possible of local distributors keeping food miles to a minimum. 

Our leaflets are printed on recycled paper.

Along with the purchased ingredients a huge amount of care is added to every jar which of course you can taste!   We hope when you ring or get in touch we will offer you a personal and individual service.
