Anathoth was founded in 1987 by a family who had purchased a rundown raspberry farm in Nelson. They named the farm Anathoth, an ancient biblical word meaning ?hope? and ?new beginnings?. At the local Saturday market all the raspberry jam, made with raspberries from the farm, sold out. The weeks that followed saw all the jam selling out too, bought by customers who were fast becoming regulars. Encouraged, the family garage was transformed into a kitchen and the Anathoth range began. The market responded warmly to the delicious, home-made flavours and Anathoth continued to gain popularity. The business was sold in the early 2000?s. Anathoth is now based in South Canterbury, having recently joined another family business,?Barker?s?of Geraldine. ?
Anathoth Jams Now in Australia
We are delighted to advise that Anathoth Jam is now available in Australia. Three of our most popular flavours (Apricot, Boysenberry and New Zealand's favourite – Raspberry) are now available in Woolworths stores throughout Australia. Please note that in Victoria, the Woolworths supermarket brand is Safeway. Our delicious Strawberry Jam will be available from October 2009. We are very excited that Australians will now be able to enjoy jam that tastes "just like your Grandma used to make". We are proud that there are only two ingredients in Anathoth Jam - fruit and sugar. Simple and delicious - just like homemade.
