Always being an entrepreneur and staying on a farm in a part of the country directed by the ever changing tapestry and seasonal abundance of our orchards and surroundings, I started experimenting with traditional recipes, yet with an eye to innovation and so Elana’s was born in 2006.

Over the years I built a niche food preserve business of jams, marmalades, dressings, sauces, preserves, olives, pickles, cordials and sweets. Each product is a labour of love and brought to life by a combination of family recipes, my new innovative creations, feedback from friends and customers and a thoughtful selection of ingredients, mostly grown on our farm or bought from farms in the surroundings. All my products are handcrafted and with the help of my assistants, I pick, cook and preserve everything myself in my custom made farm kitchen, serving as a homemade factory.
