Our Story

           


 

We be ‘jammin’.…all year round at The Preservatory – a place for creation! A farm created artisanal food production company, specializing in seasonal preserves. The Preservatory preserves are made in copper kettles using traditional co

oking methods and innovative flavour pairings. Using ‘at their peak’ in-season fruits, much of which is grown right on our farm, Vista D’oro. Our delicious and versatile preserves are meant for pairing and sharing; served on a cheese board, as a glaze for roast meats or simply alongside fresh baked scones. We’ve been proudly making fruit shine since 2002.

Our preserves, which are far from ordinary, take old favourites to new heights and different flavours are created for each season, highlighting the in-season locally grown fruit found at Vista D’oro and other farms throughout the province of BC in Canada.

 

The Preservatory is owned and operated by Lee Murphy and her partner and husband, Patrick is the winemaker and farmer who supplies the fresh fruit for the delicious preserves. Our preserves have been featured in Country Living magazine, enRouteCanadian Living, and many other publications, and are available across North America.

 

We hope you’ll visit our farm to try them yourself, find them at your favorite retailer or purchase online to enjoy at home with friends and family!
