Start your day with a bright apricot and raspberry preserve melting into a warm pastry.
We’re grateful that so many folks welcome our emails each month.
At the core of what we do is Melanie’s love for feeding people. Most days, you’ll find her offering you something to eat, asking if you’ve had the latest special next door at Woodshed Provisions or Francis Bread, or asking what you’re doing for dinner.
We share recipes that make weeknights feel special, easy pairing ideas, and cocktails you’ll want to make for friends. The Scoop lets us share all this beyond the jar.
Think about Sunday brunch with a bowl of creamy yogurt layered with a spoonful of Apple & Fig preserves. Add a slice of sourdough stacked with savoury Spicy Tomato and a fried egg to the table. Or try a platter of cheese with a hint of spice from our spicy pepper spreads.
Maybe you’re shaking up Hot Mango Margaritas while friends gather, or arranging a charcuterie board for everyone to share. However you enjoy our preserves, we invite you to experiment.
Our community gets everything first.

Twice a year, we release a seasonal guidebook in print and digital formats. Inside, you’ll find inspiration, recipes, cocktails, cheese board guides, stories from Salt Spring Island, and a look behind the scenes at The Jam Factory.
Something lovely in the mail.
Our readers get the digital version first, the day it’s released. If you're a subscriber and you’ve shopped with us online recently, watch for your copy (with a special offer) in the mail too.
Throughout the year, we also share quick guides, detailed how-tos, company news, new products, and limited releases. The Scoop readers are always the first to hear about it.
We'd love for you to join us.
We believe your inbox should be private and enjoyable. Our website uses Canadian-based, privacy-focused analytics that don’t require cookies (or banners!), so we can learn what our readers enjoy.
Your data isn’t sold or shared. If you unsubscribe, it happens right away and is permanent. We don’t add you back because we’re having a sale.
We often hear from readers, and the feedback is warm and kind. People tell us they actually read our emails, which is just about one of the nicest things you can say to anyone who works in marketing or owns a business.
Come pull up a chair.
Thanks for being curious. We are too. That's how we make our unique flavour combinations.
Your support helps me work towards my favourite goal of being a great employer in our small community. Thanks to our customers I get to lead an amazing team at our small Jam Factory.
Since 2012 we've been spreading the love for jams, preserves, and hot sauces that elevate the everyday.
We're woman-owned (obviously), family-run, and we use all-natural, premium ingredients. Small batches, big flavours. Tiny island.
So thanks for being here, and sharing with friends.
