I've been buying and enjoying the Seville Orange Marmalade for at least the last 20 years. By far, it's the best there is anywhere. The Ward Ranch is beautiful and a great tradition in Sierra Madre. If you haven't been there you should visit. You will be happy you did.

An absolute gem tucked away! My parents found this in Sierra Madre and the owners were so hospitable. They gave them a tour of the kitchens. Jams and jellies are outstanding!!

It's a fun place to visit to purchase delicious jams, jellies and sauces. Their products make great California-themed gifts and hostess gifts too.

This is a well established business of many many years. Very excellent jams and jellyies.A bit difficult to find as they are up a dirt driveway behind the first house where you may park.Tried their blueberry jam which tasted very good and wholesome. Clean ingredients.

I traveled from OC to purchased several jars yesterday.. When I owned gift stores in the '80's (J D Mercantile) we carried your jellies & jams.I have been lucky to travel extensively and even in France I couldnt fine a better source than you! Congradulations on your 4th generation providing the best product possible!

We had a friend who worked there once and sent us. We bought several jams and jellies. The building is in a residential neighborhood and is a great place to visit. A wide selection in the store

Wonderful selection of jams, jellies, condiments, and gifts. Super responsive and friendly service, and easy drive-up contactless order pickup. I'm proud to support a local small business anytime, but especially when the economy is shaky and small businesses are struggling.

Funny ! I bought these jams up north near Visalia at a little fruit stand near hwy 65. When I came back to the SGV I read the jar and found out there made in my backyard?

Nicest guy. A hidden gym in Sierra Madre. The hams and jellies here are the real deal. Over 100 years old.

Arrived to a lovely rustic property with a driveway leading to a house. There are steps to climb to get to the entry, so it would be best to call ahead of time to make sure there are accomodations for people with the inability to climb stairs. Once inside, it's a small space surrounded by jars of products with the cashier directly in front. I ultimately decided to buy orange marmalade and guava jam. Both flavors are absolutely delicious. I would definitely return for those and to try other flavors. There is a beautiful seating area outside; surrounded by plants and trees. Tours are available upon prior request (call to schedule). If you're looking to come here to take a picture with the giant jar in front of the barn door, you should know that it's brought out for tours only. This place is worth multiple visits.

I try to visit here at least once a year. This place screams history and nostalgia. Sierra Madre already gives you hometown vibes, but going the E Waldo Ward & Son makes me feel like I'm visiting my grandma. The house is located in a residential area, so it may be easy to pass it up. Please ensure that you're not wearing heels or nice sneakers because the driveway is dirt and rocks :) My favorite thing to purchase is their apple butter. Nom nom They also have jam, jelly, marmalade, olives, syrups and more. Most items are made there. I think the olives are imported but you can verify with the staff. Speaking of the staff, they are very warm and friendly. It is a family owned business and because of that, I think the service is better. They do have sugar free alternatives for some items for those that have diet restrictions. Please support this local business!
