Red Onion & Port Marmalade, Rosebud Preserves

Company founder Elspeth Biltoft learnt to forage in the Yorkshire Dales with her parents, who were passionate about the countryside. As a child, she began creating seasonal preserves with her mother and by the 1980’s was making preserves for her own family, gathering her produce from the wild, alongside her kitchen garden.
In 1988, the family moved to Rosebud Farm in North Yorkshire and converted two traditional barns into a production area. The company have since seen huge growth and now sell to independent delicatessens, cheesemongers and farm shops throughout the UK.

Rosebud Preserves are associated with a number of environmental charities including the British Hedgehog Preservation Society, the Bumblebee Conservation Trust and Butterfly Conservation.
