Paw Paws are here again. Don't wait -- the season will be gone before you know it!!

A truly unique treat -- the only N American tropical fruit -- with a flavor between a mango and a banana.

Kentucky State University (http://www.pawpaw.kysu.edu/) has been working with Neal Peterson and the Paw Paw Foundation to cultivate the best of the Paw paws. The weather this year was perfect for a monster Paw Paw harvest. Available from Earthy Delights (www.earthy.com) for a short time only.

We predict this wonderful fruit will only gain in popularity once people have a chance to try them.


And by the way, Where oh where IS pretty little Suzy?

Cherries and Berries

FANTASTIC BALATON CHERRIES


It's a great time here in Michigan. My friends up on the Mission Peninsula in Northern Michigan are about to harvest this year's Balaton Cherries. http://www.hrt.msu.edu/balaton.html

Balaton's are a delicious Morello Cherry, grown in only a few places in the US. They are tart with a bit of sweetness, and firmer than most tart cherries, which are generally used just for baking. The Balaton is also great for baking, but also fabulous for eating. They're only around for one week, so order from Earthy Delights right now because the season will be over in just one short week.

WILD HUCKLEBERRIES -- AN AMERICAN TREAT

And from the West Coast we have delicious, scrumptious huckleberries. A wild cousin of the blueberry, the huckleberry grows all over the Northwest. When they grow, they grow in great abundance, but often in remote, hard to get to locations. Some of our harvesters have sent us some and we're happy to have them in house.

If you're lucky enough to find some locally, go out and pick your own. If not try www.earthy.com and they'll send some to you
