N. Michigan Tart Cherries - They're back!!!
Sold out
My husband grew up in a little town on the Leelanau Peninsula of Michigan called Leland. On this narrow peninsula 75% of all the tart cherries in the US are grown and they are delicious! Every summer when we go up to visit we bring back apricots and sometimes black raspberries but it's the tart cherries that everyone waits for. We have one customer that orders 20 pints every year! These preserves are delicious, whole tart cherries in syrup, sweetened just enough, with a hint of vanilla, perfect on ice cream or yogurt, in a mixed drink, in a tart, on a cheese plate or straight out of the jar.
Ingredients: tart cherries from Redpath Orchards in Lake Leelanau, MI, organic sugar, organic lemon juice, vanilla beans
Strawberry & Honeysuckle Jelly
A lot of the time when we roast strawberries for our Roasted Strawberry Preserves there is lots of extra strawberry juice left over from the roasting process. I typically separate the excess juice, and store it in giant jars in the fridge, to save for future projects. One year I used it to make Blueberry Strawberry Jam. I've also made Strawberry Jelly a few times, but not very often, I'm just not really a huge fan of using pectin. There's no particular reason why I don't use pectin very often, I guess I just associate it with the stiff, grocery store preserves I had growing up. I much prefer keeping things simple, just cooking fruit down until it reaches it's own natural set.
To make a long story short, over the years way too much of this rich, flavorful strawberry juice has gone to waste and we amass A LOT. I decided that there was no way I was going waste another drop, so David and I concocted a plan. David picked a ton of honeysuckle, and we then steeped it in the strawberry juice overnight. We turned this glorious mixture into what is technically a jelly, but is really so much more. We even made honeysuckle syrup to use for future batches once the honeysuckle is gone for the season. We're calling it Strawberry & Honeysuckle Jelly even though it should be called a jally (jam and jelly mix) because the juice is so rich and flavorful. We did end up using pectin and I am surprised by how much I am enjoying it, the texture is just right, the flavor is spot on and the color is gorgeous. Actually, I think it's possible this may be my favorite thing we've ever made. And in even more exciting news our Strawberry & Honeysuckle Jelly is a 2020 Good Food Award winner!
Ingredients: Local strawberries (specific supplier is listed on the label), organic sugar, organic lemon juice, foraged honeysuckle from our farm, Pomona Pectin.
Roasted Black Raspberry Jam
Raspberries are so beautiful and make gorgeous jam. Unfortunately it's just a little to warm in the Piedmont region of North Carolina to grown them reliably and in any kind of quantity. Over the years I've been able to find some pockets of these beauties, but usually they are far and few between. This year we scored black raspberries on our annual visit to the Leelanau Peninsula of Michigan. These beauties are from Edmonson Orchards in Grand Traverse County. We roast these gorgeous raspberries to deepen their rich flavor before we turn them into jam.
Ingredients: black raspberries, organic sugar, organic lemon juice, Pomona Pectin
Size: 8oz. jar

N. Michigan Red Currant Jam
My husband grew up in a little town on the Leelanau Peninsula of Michigan called Leland. This narrow peninsula that juts out into Lake Michigan is the perfect micro climate for growing fruit, and A LOT is grown here. Every summer when we go up to visit we bring back tart cherries, apricots and sometimes black raspberries but one of my personal favorites is the red currents we bring back from Bardenhagen Farms! This jam is such a beautiful color and has the perfect balance between tart and sweet. It is so good on a piece of toast but it's tart flavor also lends itself equally well to a cheese plate or a turkey sandwich.

Local Ramp Salt
Black Garlic Salt
Pittsboro, NC , the little town where our farm is located, has the most amazing food community and I am thankful for it every day. Everyone is so generous and a prime example is our friend Angelina, of Angelina's Kitchen, sharing a very special batch of organic black garlic with us. We decided to use this gorgeous black garlic gift and make it into Black Garlic Salt. We combine the black garlic and fresh garlic from local farms with coarse sea salt and dehydrate them together. We were so excited about the black garlic that we immediately went out and bought our own Black Garlic machine (who knew there was such a thing!)
If you've never had black garlic it has a very distinctive flavor that is slightly sweet, and almost a little tangy like balsamic vinegar. The process to make it requires heating whole bulbs of garlic over the course of several weeks, a process that results in the black cloves. The browning is attributable to the Maillard reaction rather than caramelization, and black garlic is often used as an ingredient in Asian cooking. The Black Garlic Salt adds an amazing umami/garlic flavor that is useful in so many dishes. Interesting too is the fact that black garlic also has added health benefits, including twice the amount of antioxidants than in its regular form!
Ingredients: coarse sea salt, black garlic and fresh garlic (specific supplier is listed on the label)
Size: 4 oz. jar
Mushroom Salts
“Umami” is Japanese and means “a pleasant savory taste. It was discovered over a century ago and is best described as a savory or “meaty” flavor. Would you like to easily add a little umami to any dish? Our mushroom salts are the perfect way! We have two different varieties, Morel which is a chef favorite and has a traditional earthy mushroom flavor, or Porcini, used often in Italian cooking, porcini's have a delicious smoky flavor. Black Trumpets are black chanterelles and offer a buttery earthy flavor. NEW - we've just added our new Morel and Black Garlic Salt, it really takes the umami flavor to the next level with this combo of rich and tasty flavors. Our mushroom salts come in a 4 oz jar so you can take a pinch out while cooking, or they're course enough to put in a grinder if you like your mushroom salt a little finer.
