About us

In 2018, Carol Brown purchased and took over the famed Mrs Oldbucks store in historic Berrima.

Now known as Mrs Oldbucks Pantry, the business started out as a “home-made” jam shop in that town some 40 years ago. The business has since moved to its present location on the corner of Wingecarribee Street and Old Hume Highway, Berrima – a location that has become known as “Mrs Oldbucks Corner”.

Carol has had years of experience in retail businesses, and has used this experience to re-invent Mrs Oldbucks and turn it into much more than a charming jam and tea shop. She has turned it into a most delightful store containing a treasury of tasty treats, including a vast range of teas, jams and preserves, olive oils and dressings, fruit and nut butters, chocolate and sweet delights … and the list goes on.

One of the best things about Mrs Oldbucks Pantry is that most of the products sold there are local, and this has helped it become a real destination for those many people who now return time and time again to stock up on the culinary delights offered there.

Customers in the know are currently making a bee-line to Mrs Oldbucks to purchase special Christmas gift hampers which have been made up already. However, if there are special items wanted in a particular hamper Carol will make them up to order. So, don’t miss out! Stop by and be welcomed into Mrs Oldbucks soon – you won’t be sorry!

If you are looking for something different for the pantry or as a gift, this is the place to go. Fantastic shop with a lovely atmosphere, lots of tastings and the owner, Carol, certainly knows her products. Highly recommend a visit or two.
