Our Story
Highfield Preserves – Proudly Handcrafted Preserves
The Highfield Preserves story is of handmade, kitchen table beginnings which began life in 1984 on the family AGA in the Fraser household in Devon. Jennifer Fraser created a popular range of mustards incorporating the red and white wine produced from the family’s Vineyard at Highfield House. Buoyed by the success of her mustards, Jennifer launched a range of premium preserves using her much-loved family recipes. Today we make products for some of the most famous department stores in the world, but we never forget our roots.
At Highfield Preserves we have a deep-rooted love for the craft of preserve-making that has passed down through the Fraser family and has been inspired by family traditions. We are proud of our heritage and the journey we have taken to get where we are today. From our humble kitchen table beginnings, we have grown into a thriving business, handcrafting a wide-range of different flavours of jams, marmalades, curds and chutneys.
Our commitment to taste, home-cooked quality, and fresh ideas remains as strong as ever.
Today Jennifer’s son Don and his wife Emma Fraser run the business from purpose-built premises not far from Highfield House, just outside Tiverton in the village of Willand, Even their daughters help out sometimes during the holidays!
As a family-run business we believe in the beauty of tradition and the joy of sharing good food. Whether spreading joy on toast or creating memorable moments at family gatherings, each jar tells a story of passion, quality and taste you can trust.
