I started Deerview Products and living the 'good-life' when I purchased my farm in 1991. I kept free range chickens and sold their eggs to local people from the farm gate.

Soon after this I began producing jams, marmalades, chutney's etc in small quantities using my own home grown soft fruit and vegetables. However, as my sales increased I started to look to other local growers and to this day my priority is to buy as much produce from local sources, followed by English grown produce whenever possible.

With the start of farmers markets I really found the perfect outlet for my produce and I began to increase my output quite significantly and also I began to experiment with different recipes. Following the success of these markets, in 2002 I began to supply farm shops and other small specialist shops.

In 2004 my daughter joined me and we have expanded our range still further and are also producing catering jars which can be used by hotels, restaurants, pubs etc.
