Manifesto & Values

We are a proud Australian family with an unwavering passion to make your favourite dishes taste even better. 

It all started when we first crafted a surplus of strawberries into a rich jam via Grandma’s pan.

Six generations later, our business continues to grow. As does the homemade love we add to each and every jar and bottle.

One of our greatest pleasures is to hear about all the “Wow”s, the “Mmm”s and the “Oh-yes-this-is-fantastic!”s that you create in your family kitchen thanks to the fresh produce that we transform in ours.

That’s why each and every jam, sauce and condiment we create on the Beerenberg farm has to be the best-tasting product in its class.

Otherwise, we won’t place our name and, therefore, reputation on it.

And it’s how we can guarantee your family will love it just as much as ours.
