This product would not exist if not for the talents of one Robert "Fuz" Brown, the most sought after wild harvester in northern Michigan. I got to know Fuz and his wife Dorothy when I first started my business, and it wasn't easy. This guy is sought after followed and hounded by folks that want him to harvest or just want to discover all his secret berry and mushroom locations. And to get to know him, you had to know somebody that new somebody that might just call him on your behalf and see if he'll talk to you. Eleven years later and Fuz continues to bring us hundreds of pounds of wild blackberries, wild leeks, or just about any edible forest item one can think of. Even though he can bring us a few hundred pounds of berries a year, they go fast and don't last, so there are times when we are out of this product.

Wild. Rare. And a true gift from the forest and Fuz.

Ingredients: Wild Michigan Blackberries, organic sugar (evaporated cane juice), Shiraz wine, lemon juice, pectin (from citrus)
