....learn about the tasty berries you love to eat in jam, syrup, candy and more!

Huckleberries
The huckleberry is a non-cultivated berry that grows in the mountain ranges above 5000 feet. Huckleberries resemble a blueberry, yet the taste is wild, rare and bold. The huckleberry is widely proclaimed as nature's most distinctive berry. Huckleberry patches are closely guarded secrets and once found their location is not shared....except perhaps for the bears who love them as much as we do. Huckleberries make fantastic tasting jam, syrup, candy, and pie filling. Huckleberries taste great on pancakes, in muffins, pie and mixed together with chocolate. Our pancake and muffin mixes are super easy, just add water and you will soon be enjoying steaming hot huckleberry pancakes or muffins.
Our chefs have been in the kitchen coming up with lots of new flavors to meld together in fantastic, mouth watering taste sensations. So in addition to our traditional huckleberry jam, huckleberry syrup and candy we now offer new items. Look for huckleberry merlot chocolate, a melding of merlot wine flavors with dark chocolate and huckleberry .... scrumptious! Look for merlot to be melded with huckleberry pretzels, white chocolate bark and truffles. Chokecherries

The wild chokecherry is a hardy berry that can be found in prairies, plains and river banks. Its great abundance, distinctive tart flavor and rich color has made it one of the most popular wild berries. Chokecherries are not usually found in commercially made products but have been a staple of home preserving for years. This is your opportunity to enjoy chokecherries without any of the work. The chokecherry is delicious in syrup, jam, tea, and honey.

Sweet Cherries

The sweet cherry is best described as a cross between a Bing and Lambert cherry. Growing along hillsides and next to waterways, this orchard like tree is able to withstand harsh conditions. Its bright rich red color and slightly sweet flavor distinguishes it from other cherries. Our cherries come primarily from the Flathead Lake region and we offer them in jam, syrup, honey, and candies. Our flathead cherry cordials are a sweet and tangy burst of flavor that mellows with the chocolate covering. Our chefs have also come up with other great flavors, including flathead cherry taffy and gummy bears.
