How long will the items take to get to me?

Items are shipped within 3 days if in stock, 1 week if backordered.

What is the difference between jelly, jam, preserves, marmalade, and conserve?

Jelly is made from fruit juice, sugar and often pectin. Jam is a thick puree mixture of fruit, sugar and often pectin. Preserves and conserve are jams with chunks of fruit. Marmalade is similar to preserves but contain citrus fruit rind.

Why do you add sugar? Do you have any jams with a sugar substitute?

The main function of sugar is to work with the pectin and fruit acids to form the gel structure of jam and to preserve the color and inhibit the growth of mold. We do not currently have non-sugar jams because we believe we cannot replicate the quality of our recipes into a non-sugar format.

Is everything local and organic?

No, not everything. Longer answer: We like to say “thoughtfully sourced” because we think about the origin and quality of every single ingredient and we maintain close collaboration with many local farms. We often change the sourcing of our fruits, herbs and other produce for every batch based on what is available at ripest/best quality.                                                                                           

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING. according to USDA GUIDELINES, we are not allowed to use O word even though that is the sugar we use. Here is a direct quote sent to me from the USDA department.

“The only way you can represent ingredients as organic is on the actual label that goes on the product, and it can only be listed in the ingredients list on the back label. Without certification, you cannot market or label using the word organic in any other way. You can use alternative words such as natural, or chemical and pesticide-free, for example if that is the case, but the use of the word organic means you are a certified operation.”

We use “natural, chemical and pesticide free sugar for three reasons: 1)Concern for the environment around sugar cane and sugar beet fields. 2) Most mass produced sugar from cane is processed using bone char and is therefore not technically vegan. 3)Sugar is a GMO-risk food and certified organic sugar cane and sugar beet farmers are prohibited from using GMO seed.
