Welcome to Wooden Nickel Ranch
Crafted with Care. Rooted in Tradition. Loved by Families.
At Wooden Nickel Ranch, we don’t just make pickles and jam—we preserve memories. From the first spoonful of raspberry jam to the last crunch of a dill pickle, every jar is made with honest ingredients, time-honoured recipes, and a whole lot of heart. We’re proud to offer small-batch preserves that bring comfort, nostalgia, and a taste of home.
Our Story
From Kitchen Table to Farmers' Market
Wooden Nickel Ranch began with a bowl of fresh raspberries and a phone call to Dad. That call sparked a passion for preserving—not just fruit, but moments, memories, and traditions. Our name is inspired by a family saying: “Don’t accept wooden nickels.” To us, that means staying true to what’s real.
Each of our products is a reflection of that promise:
Authentic recipes passed down and perfected
Ingredients you can trust – we prioritize Canadian and locally sourced whenever possible
No shortcuts—just good food made with love
