Jam and Honey
Porch Preserves (Stepping Stones Charity) |
Brightwell Bees |
The Stepping Stones itself is a charity that supports those that are homeless and vulnerable and would like to move forward in their lives and away from street life or addiction.
Porch Preserves is a social enterprise project. They produce a range of jams and chutneys using ingredients grown in their own allotments and orchards or donated to them. These experiences give members the chance to gain new skills and the opportunity to gain a Food Hygiene Certificate. Nicola, one of their long standing volunteers, runs sessions twice a week offers a free meal to those who are helping with the project. So come along and try out their fruity and delicious jams!

Viv and Steve Moll are Oxfordshire artisan beekeepers based at Brightwell cum Sotwell, near the market town of Wallingford. They have a range of products, from the local Berkshire and Oxfordshire honey produced in their hives, to the practical pure beeswax blocks that can be used to fill scratches in wood floors or even lubricate wet suit zips.
They are members of the Oxfordshire Beekeepers' Association and also work with bees to produce beeswax candles and beeswax polish. But for delicious honey, or beautiful sculptures, make sure to try Brightwell Bees.For more information, visit them on their website; www.brightwellbees.co.uk |
