Discovering unique local products is part of the joy of shopping at Whole Foods Market. Our Chicago area shoppers are lucky to have access to Rare Bird Preserves.Elizabeth Madden, Founder of Rare Bird Preserves, explains that every jar is handmade in small batches using traditional copper pots in their quiet kitchen in Oak Park, IL. The artisanal preserves are thoughtfully crafted in the French tradition, with only the freshest seasonal fruit and their own naturally extracted pectin. They blend seasonal fruits with herbs, chocolates and other distinctive ingredients to produce deliciously unique spreads. Not in the Chicago area?

I live in Dallas, TX and shop frequently at your Preston Rd. store. I usually buy the small boiled shrimp package which comes with one cocktail sauce which is fine. Today I bought a medium and I just ate it for dinner...yum! But I ran out of cocktail sauce since there was only one in this larger portion. Will you please start putting two portions of cocktail sauce in the medium size container of boiled shrimp?

@Sheryl: I'm not sure which packaging the Dallas store uses, but I imagine there's only room for 1 container of cocktail sauce. That said, please ask a Seafood Team Member for an additional container of sauce.....they'll be happy to give you another one. Thanks!

Do you have a product catalog? If so I'll send you a mailing address. My daughter gave me some jams for my birthday, first I had heard of Rare Bird. Thanks

@SANDRA - Thanks for your question. We do not offer a product catalog at Whole Foods Market but it's possible that the Rare Bird Preserve company does. You can inquire with them on their website at http://www.rarebirdpreserves.com/Contact.html. Good luck!
