About this Product
Wild Chokecherry Jelly partnered up with our Wild Chokecherry Syrup makes a perfect treat for anyone who appreciates gathered and foraged berries. We have picked the chokecherries at the peak of ripeness (and had to fight the birds and bears for them) in the woods of northern Minnesota. Chokecherries are given their name from the mouth-puckering flavor when picked ripe from the trees. The unique flavor from these deep purple berries offers us a jelly and syrup that has become a favorite for many generations. Each 8 oz. jar of jelly and 10 oz. bottle of syrup is packed with tart, ripe chokecherries that take you back to the sweet memories of yesteryear. We love our Chokecherry Jelly on French toast or the standard "peanut butter and jelly" sandwiches. The Chokecherry Syrup is delicious over pancakes, waffles or French toast. Try swirling a bit into your yogurt or smoothie. For an extra special treat, pour a little over you next bowl of ice cream - delicious! Each bottle of our homemade whole fruit syrup and jar of our homemade jam is loving processed right here on our farm without the use of insecticides, pesticides or chemical preservatives. Every single piece of our organically grown fruit is lovingly harvested and processed using family recipes that have been handed down over the generations. We try to ensure each jam and syrup is full of all natural fruit and berries because we believe your family deserves the same delicious delights our family has been enjoying for years on our little farm. We have tons of other wonderful options for foodies, home chefs, and bakers so if you'd like to keep shopping for artisan jam, syrup, mustard, shrubs or herbs you can return to the Boondock Enterprises home page by clicking the following link Shops :: Boondock Enterprises (goimagine.com)

Meet the Maker
Michael is Louisiana born and bred. He married a northern Minnesota farm girl and after retiring from the Air Force he found himself living in the woods of MN where temperatures can get lower than his Louisiana freezers. But he has adapted well.
Dawn is a Minnesota farm girl turned 1st grade teacher. She married her southern man and after he retired from the Air Force they moved back to her family farm. She has a passion for children, gardening and wholesome, simple foods .
After retiring from the military we purchased the farm Dawn was born and raised on in northern Minnesota with the hopes of finding a simpler lifestyle. With a great deal of faith and prayer we began working the land and found our passion. Our gardens grew, our fruit trees grew, our passion grew. We are personally involved in every step of our jelly and herb production. We till our soil, plant our crops, weed our gardens, and harvest our bounty. Our goal is always to provide a product that we would proudly serve on our table, to our friends and family.
We started out with simple vegetables grown for our local farmer's market and that expanded into homemade jams and jellies, artisan coarse ground mustard, herbal products and crafts. As we worked the farm in the summer heat and brutal winters, we soon found a need for quality skin care products and created our lotions and lotion bars.
All our fruits, berries and herbs are grown without chemicals or pesticides and are picked at the peak of ripeness, so the flavor is at its best. My jams and jellies are made with only a few key ingredients, so you won't have any problems trying to figure out what you are eating. They are gluten free, non-GMO, vegan and contain no artificial chemicals and preservatives; but only loads of sun ripened fruit, sugar and gluten free apple pectin Our herbs are also grown using natural, holistic practices and our herb products are also gluten and sodium free and non-GMO.
