Pulled off because we saw the sign and ended up shipping $160 of delicious items back home. Great little shop where the products are locally grown, harvested and made. We tasted lots of good items. They also have a short video that explains the process of collecting the birch sap and the process for making the syrup and other items. Nice little find along the side of the road into Talkeetna.
I had never heard of birch syrup before, so on our way into Talkeetna, we decided to stop and check it out. We noticed the white buckets hanging from the trees on the way in. Interesting shop and lots of things to taste. With their offer of flat rate shipping, we purchased several local things to ship home, including the syrup. Well worth the stop.
Thank you, Micheal and Josey, for a great presentation. Thanks for teaching about the difference between first and last run flavor. Your product is amazing. This is a MUST SEE if you’re in the area. Love all of the Alaskan products for sale.
Very friendly welcome and plenty of birch products to sample. You can go into the back room where the magic happens and watch a short video on how they get the syrup and what they do with it. Nice to see that it’s still a small family run business. After the video you can do a taste tour of the syrup from the beginning of the season to the end. It was amazing how much the flavor changes. They were nice enough to hold our purchases for a week before shipping them to our house so they wouldn’t beat us home.
I’ve been driving past this place for years and never knew that they had fresh made ice cream in unique flavors, including their own birch syrup flavor! You’ve got to try it if you have any sense of adventure. They also have all sorts of birch syrup samplers in addition to other Alaskan souvenirs. The garden and bench area outside is cool and shaded and a nice place to hang out while you eat your ice cream. It’s definitely worth a stop for some ice cream on a hot summer day if you’re headed to or from Talkeetna.
