From Erin Burrise, owner and jam maker at berry&thyme:

"I’m a born and raised Northern California gal, with a few notches of time in Portland, Oregon in my belt (I love and miss you every day, Portland). Along with my roots of growing up in a Black and Filipino household, it was my years in Portland that jump-started the expansion of my palate to unique flavors and broadened my appreciation for adventurous culinary experiences.

I’m not a chef. I’m not a baker. In fact, I have zero formal culinary training. I’m simply a woman who loves food and botanicals and found a way to marry the two in a delicious and vibrant way through preserves. I use simple, delicious ingredients and never add artificial preservatives, commercial pectin or thickeners.

I started berry&thyme because I believe you deserve to taste products that are as unique as you are. Each preserve is so special and I am proud of the flavors berry&thyme offers. I truly hope you feel and taste the love put into each and every jar."
