The Farm is proud to showcase local, ethical products like this rich raspberry jam, made by producer Kerry Dodd of Hembridge Organics.
Kerry has always been the enterprising type. As a child, she earnt extra pocket money secretly selling surplus blackcurrants from her parent’s garden to the local deli. Now she manages a multi award-winning family business from her home in the heart of Somerset.Busting a glut
Kerry has a talent for turning past-it produce into delicious chutney, jam and marmalade – and The Farm is always happy to help! Last summer, we provided her with over-ripe plums which she transformed into tasty plum and brandy jam. Our surplus runner beans, tomatoes and courgettes helped Kerry create a seriously zingy chutney too.
No nasties
Using traditional methods, Kerry harvests the best of Somerset’s seasonal produce. Her preserves are 100% organic, vegan and vegetarian friendly, and certified by the Soil Association. There’s no diluting, artificial colouring, sweeteners or thickening agents either. Kerry says: “If we can’t pronounce the ingredient, it doesn’t go in.”
We’re jammin’
Kerry, with husband Jeremy, love to listen to music as they make their juicy jars of gorgeousness together. Radio 4 is the station of choice when creating the sweet, smooth jams and marmalades. However, they much prefer the energy and power of Planet Rock when chopping chunks of veg for chutney.
