Several years ago we began growing Aronia Melanocarpa (Aronia Berries).  Why?  They are an extremely under-utilized health food which can be easily grown organically in our area.  Due to my many sensitivities, allergies, fibromyalgia, etc… they are a fantastic choice to add to our daily diet.  Aronia ranks highest on the ORAC antioxidant scale.   We believe the best medicine comes directly from nature without all the man-made chemicals.

So why haven’t you heard of them?  They don’t taste sweet, are available fresh only in the fall, and are grown by a limited number of people.  The berries are not marketed adequately.  We’re working to acquaint you with the health benefits and how to use Aronia. 

“What do you do with them?” is probably one of the most popular questions I get.  So the granddaughters and I have begun to show folks how to use these high antioxidant Aronia berries!  Visit us at Fogle Family Farm on You Tube
