We were introduced to organic serviceberries a few years ago.  We had never heard of the serviceberry, nor did we ever see one.  To our surprise, we have around 15 of these wonderful trees on our cabin property.  The very first time we tried serviceberries, our entire family was hooked.  They are much like a blueberry, but smaller.  They grow on nice big trees and are also available to purchase as ornamental bushes.  The organic nursery that we purchase all of our organic fruit trees, bushes, strawberries, etc grows them and sells them.

If you have the chance to try a serviceberry, you will be so amazed at the flavor this little berry packs and will be forever hooked on them.

There are not that many recipes out there for organic serviceberries, so when we decided we were going to make a serviceberry crisp, we couldn’t wait to share the recipe with you!
