Our Story

We, Kitty and John Elliott, are sole owners of Watershed Farms of Bayou Chicot. We have modified our grandmothers' recipes from Victorian England to give them a Louisiana twist. Our mission is to produce premium uniquely-flavored products, made in small batches from freshly-harvested produce.

We do not add fillers, artificial preservatives and gelling agents, so our products have intense flavors.

Our fruit/vegetable farm, located in Bayou Chicot, Central Louisiana, has only been operational for a couple of years, so we supplement our own produce with locally bought ingredients from Louisiana Farmers' Markets, when these are available.

Our grandmothers, Ella Bowring and Sarah Elliott, created delicious concoctions which they passed on to future generations. These recipes, faithfully reproduced, form the basis for our products today. Our shared enthusiasm for gardening, and the memory of our grandmothers' produce filled kitchens gave us the idea for our retirement business in Central Louisiana. Hence our motto Louisiana meets Victoriana.
