Pickard's Preserves: Making Home Grown Last Longer! Welcome to my small business, where you can buy delicious luxury artisan jams, chutneys, pickles, vinegars and other preserves, all made using organic fruit and vegetables, grown by me, in my Yorkshire Allotment! I try to be as sustainable and ethical as possible so I use recycled jars and lids for my preserves and when I do need to buy fruit that I cant grow in the UK like oranges, lemons, limes, cranberries and dates, I buy organic and straight from the farmers who are based in Europe. The fruits are driven rather than flown and every penny I pay goes straight to the farmers. My sugar supplier is just down the road in Wakefield and my vinegars are high quality and usually organic too. I make everything myself and grow all my own fruit veg and flowers, which means my produce is generally seasonal unless I freeze or dry my produce to preserve at a later date. I also make up hampers for my preserves and use recycled baskets and recycled packaging.
