About Brendon Hill Crafts
Producers of fine preserves since 1984.
Brendon Hill Crafts Description
Brendon Hill Crafts was founded 30 years ago, by Liz & David Jessup, as a cottage industry on the eastern edge of Exmoor, and close to the iron ore mine which we use as a logo on our labels. The business originally produced fudge, truffles and home-made preserves, although gradually the preserves took over full time. When Liz & David Jessup reached retirement age, we took a decision not to let the successful business disappear, and gave up our jobs to continue the family operation.
Over the last eight years, we have enjoyed a great deal of support from new and existing customers, and the business has flourished. We now operate from a purpose-designed kitchen on the edge of Barnstaple, cooking in small pans that produce 20-25 jars at a time. Jars are hand-filled, hand-labelled, and personally delivered to our customers over the whole of the Exmoor, West Somerset and North Devon area, as well as further afield occasionally. We supply a variety of farm shops, village stores, delis and tourist attractions, as well as tea rooms, hotels and B& Bs, who use our products.
We attend a variety of shows and events throughout the year - see "Events" to find our next outing.
