On our farm, once peopled by Osage Indians, we grow the high-antioxidant Native American black chokeberry, now called Aronia. Used as a food for health benefits, the Aronia-berry was exported to Eastern Europe in the early 1900’s and has returned to the Midwest. We anticipate a small Aronia harvest this fall and U-Pick operation in 2012. We also grow herbs, berries and vegetables in season.
