Our Promise: Freshness from the Wild
We take great care to bring you the highest quality wild huckleberries. These delicate berries are hand-harvested and minimally processed to preserve their natural goodness and flavor.
You may notice tiny, soft stems on some berries. This is completely natural and unavoidable when harvesting such fragile fruit. Rest assured, these soft stems do not affect the quality or taste. If you find any small bits of forest debris, a gentle rinse in a strainer will make them perfect for use.
Care for Your Fresh Huckleberries
Upon Arrival: Your berries may feel warm. This is normal and won’t harm their quality. Simply place them in the refrigerator as soon as they arrive.
Fresh Storage: For the best taste, enjoy your fresh huckleberries within 5 days of arrival.
Shipping: To ensure peak freshness, all huckleberry orders are shipped via FedEx Priority Overnight.
Preserve the Flavor: Easy Freezing Guide
Want to enjoy the taste of summer all year long? Freezing your huckleberries is simple:
Gently spread the fresh berries in a single layer on a cookie sheet.
Place the cookie sheet in your freezer until the berries are completely frozen (about 2-4 hours).
Once frozen, transfer the berries to a freezer-safe bag or food saver bag. This method helps prevent clumping.
For convenience, consider freezing them in smaller batches. This makes it easier to use just the amount you need without thawing the whole bag.
To defrost, simply place the bag in your refrigerator for a day.
Don’t forget the juice! Strain any collected juice through a fine mesh strainer, coffee filter, or tightly woven cloth, and freeze it separately for later use in drinks or recipes.
Tip from a Huckleberry Lover: To easily remove any small stems, gently roll the berries between two terry cloth towels.
