Alice’s handmade AGAmade homemade Jam gift baskets
My homemade gift baskets of my jams and award winning caramel sauces are now available from some Independent shops round Northern Ireland rather than only directly from me this year. They can also be ordered for posting to friends and family in the U.K.And Ireland by emailing me.
I was at a lovely event last night at Still House in Moira with LCCC and managed not to take a single photo, but I did come home with some fabulous Abernathy Butter so I’ve got myself a loaf of Veda and cracked open my own jam 😋
It’s not often a post makes me cry, especially when it’s an advert for my jam. But this one has just floored me. I’m so happy to be able to supply a shop where the owner really does understand the work that goes on behind the scenes to run an artisan food business from home.In our tiny little shop we have very limited shelf space, a product has to be quite something unique, really something quite special before we would even consider it, our artisan producers that supply our shop and ultimately you our customers, they don’t know it but before we start selling a product from anyone “no matter how good it is or how profitable “ they have to pass another simple basic test, we have to like them, or more to the point respect them, it’s usually not hard, these self employed good folk work so hard ,they put everything they have ,all their spare time ,heart and soul into the product that they have perfected ,usually working long hours from their own kitchen, rearing a family ,doing every single little job themselves ,putting themselves on the line day in day out,they may have the weight of the world on their shoulders , yet they’re always smiling, great people to be around and they’re positivity is so infectious, every one who works along side us becomes real friends,it’s maybe an old fashioned idea but we all help and carry each other through the good and the not so good times, it’s maybe a cliche but we’re a family, so with all that in mind it’s just great and we are all over the moon that Alice McIlhagger of “Brambleberry Jams “ has came on board with us with her multi award winning range of products, including her renowned Caramel Sauce “ that’s going to be the end of me “ it’s really way too good to sell, so on behalf of everyone involved with Slemish Market Garden, welcome to our little band of lovable miscreants, you’ll fit right in Alice, and yes she is one of the nicest people your ever likely to meet
