About RedCamper
Founded in 2004 RedCamper started out as a quirky 35mm slide handbag company. Over the years we evolved to making greeting cards from found vintage travel images and notebooks & journals under the now closed USHWY89 line, and now currently produce gourmet preserves and mostardas perfect for picnicking under the RedCamper Picnic Supply line.
RedCamper believes life should just be a summertime roadtrip, forever. From the cooler packed with fresh local cheeses and charcuterie, to snapshots of squirrels on picnic tables telling jokes, to swerving onto the shoulder to stop at a roadside stand for fresh fruit, everything we make or do is about that….Summertime Preserved.
Creating ethically and sustainably produced products that celebrate adventuring the world abroad.
Our Values
Sunny Days & Campfire Nights
Create products that give the eaters a memorable experience and add something to someones day.
Our products are best in class but are meant to be the backdrop in the setting of your intimate picnic, buzzy cocktail hour or lively dinner party. Taste, share, tell stories and plan your next trip.
Listen to the locals
Be humble. Every person, town, culture, has something unique we should learn from and celebrate.
We work directly with the growers and distillers of most of our ingredients. Sourcing directly from these small farms and crafters connects us, and the product to the place it was grown and brings joy to the process. We think that translates into an end product that is filled with the heartbeat of humanity.
Go the extra mile, it's never crowded
Be the example others follow. Do the best work, be the best people we can.
We have never followed the standard path of CPG. We do not use a co-manufacturer and watch from spreadsheets, we still make every jar in house by hand in small batches. We work with fresh from the orchard fruit for most of our flavors and we source with a high level of integrity. We take our commitment to clean honest ingredients and relationships very seriously.
Pack in, Pack out
Live with integrity and conscious respect for our environment and it's resources.
From the production methods we use to composting and donating un-usesable fruit to animal sanctuaries, to using glass packaging and recyclable shipping supplies, we shoot for as light a footprint as we can manage. Our aim is to make this planet a better, not worse, place.
Keep the hands on the steering wheel
Stay aware, curious and always move forward.
While the world changes; politics, climate, economic conditions, social issues and every other thing that keeps moving in a new direction, we adjust our sails, learn, grow, and adapt. Being small and independant allows us the freedom to make choices that fit our values and continue to create product we think is best of class.
Are we there yet?
No. Not yet. Stop hitting your brother.
Keep checking our process on this journey though. Who knows where we will end up.
