About Us Based on Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands of Washington State, we specialize in single-varietal preserves & shrubs made from heritage rainshadow orchard fruit. Grown by small family farmers & homesteaders– many varietals come from trees that have been producing for over 100 years, on the remaining tracts of a once thriving orchard industry. Inspired by this legacy and partnering to revive and sustain it, we make the highest quality, locally sourced, organic fruit preserves nature and careful craft can provide. Made in an old-school style that emphasizes structure and pure, ripe, naturally grown fruit -- we classically prepare them by hand in copper pots, with organic unrefined cane sugar, a squeeze of organic lemon, and fresh herbs from our kitchen garden. We don’t use commercial pectin and rely on time, evaporation, and concentration for set; for us, it’s all about the fruit and drawing out its full potential. We think this fruit is really special; we hope our creations help tell their story. Our line of cutting preserves and spoon preserves are tailor-made for sweet and savory pairing, as well as cooking – they’re the perfect pantry staple. A natural accompaniment for cheese, our preserves upgrade a cheese platter to sublime. Our shrubs and bitters are a natural celebratory extension, crafted with the same care, a desire to utilize the whole fruit, and exquisite sourcing. Our preserves bring a sense of gravitas to any meal– an appreciation for tradition: for the bounty the land can provide, and the simple human ingenuity that inspired us long ago, to preserve it. Spoon preserves, more like a traditional jam, have a softer set than our cutting preserves. They are equally at home on toast, dessert, or cheese, and are rich with whole pieces of fruit. Cutting preserves are ‘membrillo’ style, highly concentrated fruit purees – perfect for chee charcuterie pairing. Known as ‘fruit cheese’ in Europe, this classic recipe was originally us take advantage of fallen orchard fruit. Great starters for glazes, vinaigrettes, & sau Shrubs are concentrated sweet & sour syrups, tailored for splashing into soda and making cocktails at home. They are a fabulous pantry staple -adding a touch of sour & hint of sweet to roasting meat and vegetables and crafting a delicious ice cream shrub soda float. Tree Bitters are a natural evolution of our process. An all natural extract, we steep the sticks and stones and pits left behind from our preserving process in a locally distilled spirit to yield an intense potion perfect for dashing into cocktails and sparkling water.
