History

Founded by Melissa A. Allred in 2018, Aspen Grove Farm began as a personal dream realized on six leased acres in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana. The farm embodies Melissa's passion for living off the land and aims to share this experience of sustainable agriculture and fresh produce with its visitors.

Practices

Aspen Grove Farm is committed to no-spray practices, ensuring that all fruits like honeyberries, raspberries, and strawberries are grown naturally. Their dedication to natural growing methods extends to their production of jams and syrups, which incorporate natural ingredients such as cane sugar, local apple cider, pectin, and spices.

Offerings

The farm is renowned for its diverse and delicious range of berry products. Their jams and syrups, including the famous Honeyberry Heaven Jam and Syrup, are crafted with berries grown right on the farm. Unique products such as the Honeyberry Jalapeno Jam and Montana Skies Jam showcase the distinct flavors of local berries, with offerings suitable for breakfast spreads or as cocktail mixers. Aspen Grove also makes freshly harvested and frozen honeyberries available year-round.

Visiting and Buying

Aspen Grove Farm welcomes visitors to participate in U-Pick events and operates a self-serve farm stand located at 400 Quast Ln., Corvallis, MT. The stand, open seasonally during spring, summer, and fall, offers an array of products, including jams, syrups, frozen berries, and fresh fruits. Customers can purchase products via local markets in Ravalli and Missoula counties, with availability at several area farmers' markets. Payments are accepted via Venmo or card.

Connection

Aspen Grove's emphasis on local community and sustainability is evident in its operations, which include maintaining orchards and gardens, all woven into the fabric of the Bitterroot Valley. Their produce is rich with the essence of Montana, offering a genuine taste of the region to anyone who visits or enjoys their products from afar.
