OUR STORY

Turning abundance into something worth preserving.

One summer in Ōtaki, I noticed an abundance of fruit and vegetables growing in local gardens, parks and along roadsides. While the harvest was plentiful, much of it was never picked and ended up going to waste.

I started Preservation to help change that. By transforming surplus produce into small-batch jams, relishes and other products, we're able to celebrate seasonal abundance while helping reduce food waste.

Every jar is handcrafted in New Zealand using rescued and locally sourced produce wherever possible, creating exceptional flavour with a lighter footprint.
