I discovered Top Shelf Preserves at a farmer’s market where I have purchased a number of their products and have never been disappointed. Their sour cherry jam and plum jam are absolutely the best jams I have ever tasted. They have a papaya hot sauce that is my favourite hot sauce of all time. I’ve tried their pickled cucumbers, beans and party mix, and they were all delicious. 100% recommend.

I called in from Vancouver to get gifts for my Mom. The service was amazing and they took care of her. Will definitely shop here again.

This is the jam that your grandmother made. Local, fresh fruit. Fruit forward on the plate, and the fruit blending is craaaaaazy delicious. My two faves are two that no one other than Sarah makes: grape jelly and crab apple jelly. These are stunningly good with a one of a kind balance between tart, berry, and sweet. Top Shelf is totally my jam .

I discovered this shop yesterday, and picked up the cherry soda, wild blueberry jam, and pickled turnips. I’ve tried everything already! Oh my goodness, the wild blueberry jam is amazingly delicious. Crisp and tart, like fresh picked blueberries. I’ve been eating the pickled turnips out of the jar, so yummy!

So excited to have a steady supply nearby! Always the most delicious preserves and goodies. So perfect for gifts and it always causes an uproar when these jars make an appear at a dinner party.
