Berry Patch Preserves

A big thank you to CVADA - Codroy Valley Area Development Association, and especially Lucy Poirier, for inviting Berry Patch Preserves to be part of the Nature Festival.

I had a wonderful weekend learning about owls, birds, bees, and nature while meeting so many great people. A special thank you to the amazing volunteers who made the event such a success.

And thank you to all my new and returning customers for your support. I truly appreciate every visit to my table.

Green Pepper Jelly is here!

At the last market in Codroy Valley, a customer asked if I had any Green Pepper Jelly. I didn't at the time, but her request inspired me to head back to the kitchen and create a batch!

Just look at that gorgeous colour!

This new flavour will be available this weekend at the Nature Festival. Be sure to stop by the Berry Patch Preserves table and give it a try!

Hope to see you there!

Thanks Denise for wonderful compliment on the spicy salsa. Breakfast looks delicious.

Working from home today after a delicious homemade breakfast 🫐☕🍳

Fresh avocado toast on sourdough, over easy eggs topped with chicken, salsa, and cheese, plus fresh blueberries — all served on handmade pottery created right here at Crimson Art Studio. 💙

The salsa is the extra spicy salsa from Berry Patch Preserves and it was absolutely delicious. 🌶️🔥

There’s just something extra special about starting the day using pieces made with our own hands. 😊

Denise will be working from one of the home studios today getting caught up on custom orders, glazing, and new designs while the public shop remains closed until our regular hours Tuesday and Wednesday from 10 AM–5 PM and 6 PM–8 PM.

Thank you all so much for continuing to support our little studio and all the handmade mud creations we work so hard on every day. ❤️

Oh, how I can’t wait to get all my seedlings and plants outside and dig in the dirt!

There’s nothing quite like gardening to melt away stress, truly the best therapy.

Stay tuned for an abundance of homegrown goodness this season, including tomatoes, jalapeños, peppers, zucchini, cucumbers, and so much more.

I absolutely love this time of year!
