Our Story
OUR PRESERVES ARE SIMPLE AND MADE WITH LOVE
At Big Bear Farms we grow and harvest fruit as our family has done for over three generations. We also source fruit from local farmers and all our team members live and work in our community. From strawberries, cherries, peaches, plums, and apples to lesser known varieties such as quince and nectarine – our home in Himachal sees a variety of produce over the year. Each season we pick the best fruit to make jams, jellies, and pickles that are the highlight of every meal at our kitchen table.
OUR FAMILY RECIPES REMAIN UNCHANGED
We pick and preserve our fruit within twenty-four hours to ensure freshness. Under the close guidance of our team, our preserves are hand made and slow cooked in small batches. We use only natural ingredients without any artificial preservatives. Each jar is carefully filled and bottled by hand to be enjoyed through the year.
OUR PRESERVES ARE WHOLESOME AND DECADENT
Slather jam on toast or drizzle on ice-cream, mix marmalade in with your morning bowl of porridge or add cheeks of bottled peaches to your dessert – the possibilities are truly endless!
