🍓 Throwback to this year’s strawberry season!
Back in May and June, our kitchen was full of red-stained hands and definitely the sweetest smell around. We spent weeks processing basket after basket of juicy berries from Deal Farms Fresh Produce in Franklin, NC. We were also so grateful to welcome back Leatherwood Family Farms in Canton for a another year of gorgeous Haywood County-grown berries! 💚
Each and every berry was washed and juiced whole, and any remaining bits went home with us for composting. Some of that fresh strawberry juice went straight into syrup and soda, while the rest of the berries were frozen at their peak. That way we can bring farm-fresh strawberry flavor to our sodas and craft syrups all year long.
It’s slow, hands-on work, but it’s how we keep things real around here: local fruit, simple ingredients, and nothing artificial. Ever.
Taste a little bit of summer with our Strawberry Rhubarb Soda and Strawberry Syrup, both available now in the gift shop and online store! 🍓
