About The Preservatory

The Preservatory - a place for creation! A farm created artisanal food production company, specializing in seasonal preserves. The Preservatory preserves are made in copper kettles using traditional cooking methods and innovative flavour pairings. Using ‘at their peak’ in-season fruits. Our delicious and versatile preserves are meant for pairing and sharing; served on a cheese board, as a glaze for roast meats or simply alongside fresh baked scones. We’ve been proudly making fruit shine since 2002. Our preserves, which are far from ordinary, take old favourites to new heights and different flavours are created for each season, highlighting the in-season locally grown fruit found at farms throughout the province of BC in Canada. The Preservatory ‘clean label’ preserves are all natural, non-gmo and do not contain pectin. The Preservatory is owned and operated by Lee Murphy and her partner and husband, Patrick. Our preserves have been featured in Country Living magazine, enRoute, Canadian Living, and many other publications, and Lee's cookbook The Preservatory published by Random House is available and makes a great merchandising partner with the preserves.
