Orkney Isles Preserves is a small business based on the island of Shapinsay. We have been producing jam and chutney since 1986. The business expanded steadily and, to accomodate this, In 2001 we converted a disused bothy into a factory. This allowed us to increase production and our range of products. In 2009 we invested in a wind turbine "Tereza" to generate our electricity.
