ROSEBUD PRESERVES - Our story starts in Swaledale, a few miles west of Richmond in one of Yorkshires most beautiful Dales. It is famous for dry stone walls, old field barns and wild flower meadows in the upper Dale and for its river which tumbles over rocks between green meadows and fell side fields along the narrow limestone valley. In 1988 when Elspeth was looking for a home based business to support her family, preserve making was high on her list of possibilities.When her family moved to Rosebud Farm near Masham in North Yorkshire they acquired two traditional nineteenth century barns that were perfect for conversion to food production.
