The Bespoke Jar

Don't see your pickle? We'll make it.

Everyone has one pickle they miss — a grandmother's recipe, a regional classic, a taste of home that no store ever gets right. Tell us what it is.

If it grows in season and we can source it fresh in the hills, our founder will handcraft it for you the traditional way — a made-to-order jar, prepared in her own kitchen, just for you.

  • Any fruit or vegetable — subject to season and availability.
  • Made to order in a fresh small batch, never from stock.
  • Price on request — it depends on the ingredients and quantity you choose.

We work with seasonal produce only — we will always tell you honestly what is possible, and when.
