We heard about this store and farm from Joanne, the awesome Tourist Center Guide on our way into…read moreKnowlton. Elderberries are purported to be one of the highest antioxidant foods and as a life and wellness coach, I recommend it when someone needs an immune system boost to stave off the common cold, shorten the flu, and reduce sinusitis. That said, there are also other potential benefits of the juice of the fruit that have yet to be fully confirmed, yet are sufficiently awesome enough to give it a try. The store and seating area is gorgeous. With the breeze and sunshine, it made for a perfect day to look over the countryside and the crops below. Phil and Andrea, the owners, are passionate about what they do and it shows. Andrea makes every product they sell: pure elderberry juice, elderberry syrup (that is infused with honey, ginger and cinnamon); elderflower lemonade sweetened with the elderflower honey; red pepper jelly, rhubarb lime ginger compote, elderberry preserves, slightly spicy kale chips (no elderberry, but an awesome snack). They also extract the elderflower honey and her that as well for purchase. The juice itself is aptly described as part blueberry, part blackberry. It's slightly tart, but as you would use only 2 teaspoons a day for vitality purposes, it makes a great addition to boost the antioxidants of a smoothie, can be mixed in a tea, a lemonade, or even a club soda. The syrup would make a wonderful addition to a spritzer or as a delectable sauce for pancakes, waffles, or ic cream. You can taste the spiciness of the ginger and the cinnamon (both excellent for health-the former is an anti-inflammatory and the latter lowers blood pressure and stabilizes blood sugar). The lemonade is perfectly sweetened-just a hint, which allows the lemon favor to shine through. They serve it in tall tumblers sprinkled with fresh elderflowers and if you wish, a sprig of fresh mint (I recommend this). A really wonderful place to visit and to taste and buy the numerous homemade products made from their own gardens and crops.

This one of the best places in the area to go pick apples in the fall. It's a fairly large orchard…read morethat gets very busy when the apples are ripe. You take a ride in a wagon pulled by a tractor from the main building to the apples. There are two size bags that you can pick and they will direct you to the apples that are currently being picked. Once you fill your bag, you hop back on the wagon to go pay for the apples. In the store you will find picked apples for sale, cider, apple pies and everything else made from apples. Their pies are really delicious. One word of warning...very few employees are fluent in English. Usually one of the customers who is fluent in English will step up to help. The tour in the wagon will be in French only. Just nod your head and laugh when the others laugh and you will do fine.
