Tiptree, a village in the heart of Essex, England, is home to the Wilkin family. For nearly 300 years, the Wilkin family has farmed in Tiptree and grows many of its own fruits on its farmland straddling almost 1,000 acres.

The very first Tiptree conserves were made here in 1885 and to this day, we still specialise in fruit-growing on the Tiptree estates.

5,000 tons of Tiptree jams are produced every year and one-third are exported to a host of countries and major overseas markets worldwide - primarily Germany, USA, Japan, and France. Most five-star hotels in Britain, as well as top airlines such as Virgin Atlantic (Upper Class only) and the best known cruise ships, serve Tiptree.

We operate three tea rooms in Essex, which serve our famous conserves and marmalades.

We also pay close attention to environmental issues and carefully tend our farms and orchards to ensure ecological balance. We have even converted to using organic growing methods for some crops.

The company is committed to an integrated environmental and management plan which balances the needs of the environment with operational obligations while ensuring continual improvement in environmental performance, prevention of pollution and compliance with environmental legislation.
