Producing with passion
Raydale Preserves is a family run business set in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales.
We’re passionate about our history
Set in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, in the picturesque valley of Raydale, Raydale Preserves is a family run business established in 1978.
Raydale Preserves was born out of farm diversification and because of this we are dedicated to the conservation and restoration of the stunning surroundings to which we call home. A percentage of the profits generated by Raydale Preserves continues to be used to maintain the upkeep of this atmospheric landscape.
As Raydale Preserves has grown we have restored dry stone walls, dry stone barns, developed permissive footpaths and replanted ancient woodland within the valley. We are proud of our heritage and hold our role in the preservation, as well as the development, of our local landscapes and communities close to our heart.
We’re passionate about our production
We pride ourselves on using traditional methods to produce our products. Here at Raydale Preserves all our ingredients are of the highest quality all are ethically sourced from sustainable environments.
Wherever possible we use local suppliers in our products such as strawberries from Spilman’s Farm, Thirsk, North Yorkshire and Rhubarb from Tomlinson’s of Pudsey.
We’re quite old fashioned here at Raydale Preserves and although we’ve come a long way from our early days, you’ll still find us topping strawberries, potting jars and sticking on labels by hand.
You can see that each stage of production is meticulously maintained to ensure true excellence in finish. We believe passion, hard work, attention to detail and simplicity are key.
We're passionate about recipes
Whilst it’s open for debate here at Raydale Preserves as to if anything beats a humble piece of hot buttered toast with jam what we can all agree is that our products can be used for so much more!
We're passionate about the future
While we pride ourselves on using traditional methods to produce our products, we’re always looking to the future. We hold the development of our local landscapes and communities close to our hearts.
