WELLINGTON FARM, LLC
WELLINGTON, FLORIDA

All of our marmalades and preserves are homemade in the true sense of the word. Most of the fruit we use is grown on our own farm, and it is always fully ripe before we pick it. To achieve the very finest quality, we make our preserves in very small batches without the addition of pectin or any artificial ingredients. The result of our old-fashioned cooking method is a very fresh and richly-flavored product, far superior to any mass-produced preserves. My mother (Mary) blames me (Catherine) for the start of our business, because I was the one that reminded her of the wonderful preserves she made while we were growing up. She will tell you that she grew up in Vermont where her mother taught her at a very early age how to can and make preserves to store for the long cold winters. (I think it is in her bones to do this.) My mom and dad moved to Santa Barbara in 1980 where they bought one of the early farmhouses in the area which came with a small orchard. After selling fresh fruit from the orchard at the local certified farmers' market since 1981....my mother decided (after a bit of prodding from me) that we would turn some of the fresh fruit into fine homemade preserves and marmalades. So, she set out to develop the best and freshest tasting recipes that would bring out the true flavor of the fruit. This meant there could be no compromise on the very small size of her batches and it meant no pectin or artificial ingredients, just fruit and sugar cooked down the old fashioned way in eight-quart pots. Where we are today Today, my mother continues to farm organically, harvesting fruit year round. After 21 years of hauling, setting up and selling at the local farmers' markets (as many as 3 per week) and 9 1/2 years of making and selling preserves she has retired. (Bless her heart!) Over the recent years Cat is now making sugar-free versions that match up to and surpass the taste and quality of the cane sugar versions.
