Frequently Ask Questions
We use high-quality, locally sourced fruit and vegetable produce from farms in Ontario and Western Quebec many of whom we have a direct relationship. Some products such as lemon, pectin and sugar are sourced from suppliers but are not available locally (i.e. has anyone found a lemon in Canada?). We do not use artificial preservatives or additives. Product ingredients are listed under each product on the website. The QR code on your label will bring you back to the site to learn more about the ingredients
Yes, all our jams, jellies, pickles, and sauces are naturally gluten-free. For those that may be interested, even pectin is naturally gluten free. It is a type of polysaccharide (carbohydrate) usually derived from the cell walls of citrus fruits, but can also be derived from other fruits such as pears, apples, guavas, plums, and gooseberries.
No, our products are handmade in small batches using traditional recipes that do not require artificial preservatives. We focus on natural preservation methods like canning and pickling and use natural ingredients like pickling salt, lemon and sugar as preservatives.
Our unopened jams and jellies have a shelf life between 12-24 months, while our pickles and sauces can last up to 18 months when stored in a cool, dark place. Once opened, we recommend refrigerating and consuming within a few weeks.
Unopened products should be stored in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry. Once opened, keep them refrigerated and tightly sealed to maintain freshness.
