Prince Edward Island Preserve Company

About Us In 1987, Shirley and I purchased a 1913 Creamery, a pretty well worn down building on the bank of the River Clyde, in the lovely village of New Glasgow in Prince Edward Island. Our goal was to renovate and create a food destination that welcomed and treated guests to food with integrity and flavour. It all started with our low sugar preserves, specialty foods with taste and flair and had since grown to include tea and spice. We have developed the location with hard work, positive word of mouth from our customers and customer caring staff. Our retail shop and online store sell only items we enjoy. They must be functional, beautiful and offer value. We have been to most of the producers of the products we sell, including Dunoon Pottery in Staffordshire, England, and Heather Gems in Pitlochry, Scotland. We look for friendly people who produce excellent products at reasonable prices. Our seasonal restaurant is one of the busiest on the Island; here we serve tasty local comfort food at affordable prices. Our staffing levels have reached 80+, and we can not do what we do without their professionalism and honest caring for others. As part of our life’s larger purpose, Shirley and I started the Gardens of Hope, a 12-acre garden sanctuary next door to us in 2005 with a mission of opening a Respite Cottage for those dealing with life-threatening illnesses. They are our guests at no cost to them or their families. More info here. We now ship our products to the world through our mail order department. We personalize all our gift orders with handwritten salutation cards, at no charge. We have had a website since 1998 and are happy to say we have thousands of regular customers mainly in the US and Canada.
