We are experts in the manufacture and history of preserved food. In our online shop, you will find a wide array of jerky (both meat and vegan), biltong, chilli sauces, fruit leathers and much more. All are handmade, many to historically accurate recipes. For instance, our oldest recipe is a copy of the jerky made and eaten on the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804. We also sell jams (including bacon jam!), cheese and a few limited edition products. Please explore our online shop to find out more.

Inspiration
We were inspired to set up our business by our passion for quality food made from foraged and naturally farmed local produce. We had been participating in historical re-enactments for several years and saw a natural niche in the market for historically-based products. We started making jerky - naturally dried meat snacks - for family and friends, and it proved very popular.
Social Appearances
press & articles
We attend a wide range of festivals and historical re-enactments every year, not only selling our wares but giving demonstrations of historical food preparation and preserving foods with an authentic smoker. If you are interested in booking us, please get in touch.
