Loyalist Jam Farmhouse is a family home built by my grandparents. It resembles a cottage retreat located on the Milford Road south of Picton. Ideally located within 2 hours of Toronto and 3 hours of Ottawa, offering you a quick escape to slow down and relax.
As a descendant of the early Empire Loyalists, I am still living on the farm land on which I grew up. My farm had been in the family for many generations. My gardens are planted and harvested using the same farming techniques taught to me by my parents and their parents before them.
I learned the art of making Jams and Jellies from both my Grandmother and Mother. The recipes are uncomplicated and use only fresh local fruit and sweeteners like honey, maple syrup or raw cane sugar. Most of the recipes used today have been passed from one generation to another dating back many years.
