We create handcrafted jams & pickles using local fruit from family farms. Our jams and pickles are made with all natural ingredients and feature the best seasonal produce from our region.

flavors of the season

Our passion is transforming locally grown, seasonal fruit while supporting our local farmers.

spring

As the days begin to warm and everything starts to bloom, we find the first brilliantly colored spring fruits and vegetables of the season to tempt your palate.

summer

From the moment everything comes into full bloom to the lazy days of hot summer, we make jams, pickle and drink syrups from all of the fruits and ripe vegetables of the season.

for the locavore
Amy Deaver has earned a loyal following with Lemon Bird Preserves, the vivid, creatively spiced jams and pickles she makes in her southern California kitchen. Now, she’s offering cocktail cherries in three versions: straight-up Maraschinos made from Rainier cherries, subtly sweet and bright yellow; Cocktail Cherries, seasoned with finger limes and vanilla; and Southern Smoked Cherries, soaked in whiskey, ready to drop into a Manhattan. Bonus: The leftover syrup is terrific drizzled over ice cream.
