Welcome to Ravensfield Preserves
We moved to Ravensfield in 2022, and it’s been an exciting journey ever since! In our desire to become more self sufficient, and loathing the job of mowing the grass, we decided to dedicate half of our land to growing fresh produce, a quarter to raising happy chickens, and the last quarter to a lovely lawn. Once our vegetable garden started to thrive, we realised we needed to get creative with preserving all the delicious food we were growing. Our two freezers filled up quickly, so we dove into the fun world of canning and pickling. After lots of experimenting (and a few disasters), we figured out how to keep our bounty shelf-stable in some tasty ways.
We began making and selling jams and chutneys to help fund our Scouts' trip to the Kandersteg International Scout Camp in Switzerland. It was such a hit that our wonderful customers kept coming back for more varieties, and that’s how Ravensfield Preserves was born!
We take pride in using only homegrown, foraged, or locally sourced produce, and we don’t add any artificial additives or preservatives. We only use Organic Apple Cider Vinegar and white distilled vinegar, both of which, are gluten free therefore, all of our preserves are gluten free.
We can’t wait for you to try our creations!
