Preserves, Chutneys, and Marmalades are

locally grown in Vermont. Founders Vicki & Joe use only

the freshest whole fruits and vegetables obtained from

organic farms, or farms that practice ecologically sensitive

farming. These farms are typically within 20 miles or less

of Blake Hill. Each batch is made the old-fashioned way,

slow-churned, & never contain any artificial ingredients.
