Cogry House Preserves

10/04/2026

After 6 months “off”… I’m officially back in the kitchen 🙌

While I’ve still been behind the scenes doing the admin, I took some time to step back from production to welcome our new baby and adjust to family life – and what a special (and busy!) time it’s been 💛

A huge thank you to the girls who stepped in and kept everything going while I was off – I’m so grateful for you.

It’s so nice to be back making the jam and chutneys again and getting properly stuck in 🍓

Thanks so much for all your continued support – it genuinely means a lot!

A bittersweet moment as the kitchen leaves Cogry House after 23 wonderful years. I've no doubt many wonderful memories made — but it’s time for a new chapter just down the road 💛

We’re moving to Fisherwick Farm (5 Mill Road, Doagh), only 2 minutes away, and while the kitchen isn’t quite up and running yet, we hope to be back by the end of next week. Thanks so much for your patience as we make the move!

The time has come — the kitchen is officially on the move from Cogry House to Fisherwick Farm!
While it’s not quite up and running just yet, we’re aiming to have it operational by the end of next week.
Thanks so much for your patience as we settle into our new home! 🏡

The kitchen will be closed for the rest of this week due to a bereavement. Marie, who sadly passed away, was a key part of the beginnings of what we now know and love as Cogry House Preserves. As the kitchen is on the family’s property, I am closing out of respect and to allow space for them to grieve. Thank you for your understanding during this time.

Mrs Marie Taggart (née McClean)
July 13th 2025, peacefully at her home Cogry House, Rectory Road, Doagh.

Dearly loved wife of Len, much loved mother of Lesley, William, Leonard and Robert, and a devoted mother-in-law, grandmother, Ouma and great-grandmother.

House strictly private please.

A Service of Thanksgiving will be held in Second Ballyeaston Presbyterian Church on Thursday 17th July at 1.00pm, followed by interment in Rashee Cemetery.

Family flowers only.

Always loved and remembered by all the family circle at home and abroad.

Two tired hands are resting, the voice we loved is still. The one who did so much for us, is resting at God’s will.
