Roasted Strawberry Preserves
For years we've roasted the peaches for our Roasted Peach Preserves, we found that this technique brought out the natural flavor of the fruit and made the jam quicker to reach its desired consistency. We suspected it might just do the same for strawberries and it did! Our Roasted Strawberry Preserves have a robust, vibrant strawberry flavor, highlighted with just a bit of organic sugar and lemon juice. This is one of our most popular jams and was a 2018 Good Food Awards winner.
Ingredients: Local strawberries (specific supplier is listed on the label), organic sugar, organic lemon juice.
Size: 8 oz. jar

N. Michigan Tart Cherries - They're back!!
Sold out
My husband grew up in a little town on the Leelanau Peninsula of Michigan called Leland. On this narrow peninsula 75% of all the tart cherries in the US are grown and they are delicious! Every summer when we go up to visit we bring back apricots and sometimes black raspberries but it's the tart cherries that everyone waits for. We have one customer that orders 20 pints every year! These preserves are delicious, whole tart cherries in syrup, sweetened just enough, with a hint of vanilla, perfect on ice cream or yogurt, in a mixed drink, in a tart, on a cheese plate or straight out of the jar.
Ingredients: tart cherries, organic sugar, organic lemon juice, vanilla beans
Roasted Raspberry Jam
Sold out
Raspberries are so beautiful and make gorgeous jam. Unfortunately it's just a little to warm in the Piedmont region of North Carolina to grown them reliably, and in any kind of quantity. Over the years I've been able to find some pockets of these beauties, but usually they are far and few between. We recently got our hands on some gorgeous organic berries that we roasted, this deepens their rich flavor before we turn them into jam.
Ingredients: organic raspberries, organic sugar, organic lemon juice, Pomona Pectin

Black Garlic Salt
Pittsboro, NC , the little town where our farm is located, has the most amazing food community and I am thankful for it every day. Everyone is so generous and a prime example is our friend Angelina, of Angelina's Kitchen, sharing a very special batch of organic black garlic with us. We decided to use this gorgeous black garlic gift and make it into Black Garlic Salt. We combine the black garlic and fresh garlic from local farms with coarse sea salt and dehydrate them together. We were so excited about the black garlic that we immediately went out and bought our own Black Garlic machine (who knew there was such a thing!)
If you've never had black garlic it has a very distinctive flavor that is slightly sweet, and almost a little tangy like balsamic vinegar. The process to make it requires heating whole bulbs of garlic over the course of several weeks, a process that results in the black cloves. The browning is attributable to the Maillard reaction rather than caramelization, and black garlic is often used as an ingredient in Asian cooking. The Black Garlic Salt adds an amazing umami/garlic flavor that is useful in so many dishes. Interesting too is the fact that black garlic also has added health benefits, including twice the amount of antioxidants than in its regular form!
Ingredients: coarse sea salt, garlic (specific supplier is listed on the label)
Size: 4 oz. jar
Mushroom Salts
“Umami” is Japanese and means “a pleasant savory taste. It was discovered over a century ago and is best described as a savory or “meaty” flavor. Would you like to easily add a little umami to any dish? Our mushroom salts are the perfect way! We have two different varieties, Morel which is a chef favorite and has a traditional earthy mushroom flavor, or Porcini, used often in Italian cooking, porcini's have a delicious smoky flavor. Black Trumpets are black chanterelles and offer a buttery earthy flavor. NEW - we've just added our new Morel and Black Garlic Salt, it really takes the umami flavor to the next level with this combo of rich and tasty flavors. Our mushroom salts come in a 4 oz jar so you can take a pinch out while cooking, or they're course enough to put in a grinder if you like your mushroom salt a little finer.
Ingredients Morel Mushroom Salt - coarse sea salt, morel mushrooms
Ingredients Porcini Mushroom Salt - coarse sea salt, porcini mushrooms
Ingredients Black Trumpet Mushroom Salt - coarse sea salt, black trumpet mushrooms
