Origin Green Sustainability Programme

Sustainability is a must for us at Wexford Home Preserves. We are a verified Origin Green company since 2016. We have ben accredited Gold Verified Origin Green members for the last two years 2023 and 2024 which we are very proud of. A huge factor for us is focusing on buying local natural ingredients, which we are doing very successfully at the moment by working with local growers to source up 80% of our fruits on the island of Ireland. Solar Panels We have invested in 100 solar panels at our batch kitchen in New Ross. All Ireland Pollinator Plan We are members of the All Ireland Pollinator Plan. Tree Planting We have partnered with Reforest Nation to plant 600 trees per year in Ireland sourcing trees from local nurseries.

I [Laura Sinnott] have a background in Hotel and Catering after achieving a National Certificate in Business Hotel and Catering Supervision and a Diploma in Tourism and Hospitality Studies in WIT; I worked for thirteen years in hospitality and gained invaluable experience in this sector.
Why Us

One of the Company’s key USPs is its traditional production method which sets it apart from the other manufacturers as it retains its artisan approach and makes sure that its preserves are of the very highest quality. The method involves taking the pips of the oranges and lemons that are used in its marmalades out by hand and reserved to make its own natural pectin, which is used to thicken jams and marmalades and to give them a superior set. The fruit is still cut by hand and soaked overnight – which the Company believes makes a difference in the texture of its products – machine cutting can produce a texture that seems artificially smooth. The traditional open pot or kettle boiling method is then used to cook jams and marmalades - this simply means cooking in a large pot with a wooden spoon, as your grandmother used to do. Wexford Home Preserves is one of the few producers of its size using this method of production. This takes more time, more labour and more attention than vacuum cooking which is used by more commercial manufacturers, but Tom and Laura proudly use this painstaking approach to deliver a superior flavour of product.
