2025 will represent a landmark year for Wild Side Preserves. 

First and foremost - we have absolutely no plans to stop making and selling our popular preserves!

However, after over a decade trading from our much loved Jam Butty, we are starting to find it a bit heavy to manouver. And, with a second boat in tow, our speed is limited which means we can't explore some of the more distant elements of the UK's inland waterways, which is rather frustrating.

So, 2025 will be the last year we trade from the combination of Wand'ring Bark and The Jam Butty. The butty is being bought by friends and fellow traders after the Huddlesford Gathering in September, and we will be selling the motor boat soon after. We are planning to buy a single longer boat (60ft) which is large enough to carry all our stock, ready for the 2026 boating season.

So, we will carry on trading as before, but instead of The Jam Butty look out for Wild Side aboard the Jam Boat!
