The nature of Rare Bird stems from our search for the highest quality fruits and unique ingredients to create distinctively delicious preserves. Our kitchen practices classic methods of preserving with creative modern techniques to build inspired, signature flavors.
Our space is part commercial kitchen, part studio and part store. Here you will find us cooking our seasonal jams, jellies, curds, syrups and other delectables in our kitchen. We have a studio for flavor development, workshops and classes. And our shop sources unique housewares and gifts. All housed in a storefront in historic Oak Park, Illinois.
