Wild Purveyors handmade Shrubs

Our production of shrubs was born of necessity and curiosity.  A colonial preservation method that won our hearts the first time we ended up in a banner year of Blueberries. These flavor concentrates can be used to make a slightly tangy flavored soda or salad dressing, to round out and pump up a cocktail, or anywhere in cooking.

We make 2 versions of shrub, a Cocktail Strength suitable for cocktails and nonalcoholic sodas, and a Cooking Strength that can be utilized anywhere in cooking that calls for vinegar or acid.  Both versions are made with a tried and true colonial method that consists of excellent raw ingredients, time, and a genuine palate.  The result is a flavor concentrate that is shelf stable and full of tart and delicious flavor true to the season in which it was born.

With all of our shrubs, we utilize hand foraged ingredients (mostly by our hands) along with raw ingredients sourced direct from nature, or certified organic where applicable, and vinegar.  We never use or produce products that contain stabilizers, preservatives, or any chemical additives. You'll taste nature as nature intended in all of our shrubs.
