About Us
Morrill Mountain Fruit Farm in South Strafford, Vermont grows the blueberries, currants, and raspberries used to make Nanarella’s Fruit Pâte. These chewy, melt in your mouth, one-inch squares bring traditional French Pâte de fruit to Vermont. You can save the airfare and still savor the experience.
The farm was founded in 2006 on the base of Morrill Mountain's North slope to honor the memory of Nanarella’s son, Dana who loved berries. As a family, they spent many hours picking, eating and enjoying delicious time together. Nanarella’s Fruit Pâte is Nanarella’s way to share the love experienced on those berry-good days.
Morrill Mountain Fruit Farm is a Vermont USDA licensed food processor and a member of the Good Food Guild, comprised of food makers who believe in enhancing, rather than depleting the environment and in building healthier communities.
Our berry bushes love Morrill Mountain's warm sunny days, cool nights and clean water. On the Farm, we use only organic methods to grow quality fruit in a pristine Vermont environment. We hand pick the berries at their peak, combine them in small batches adding only natural ingredients to make the absolute purest, tastiest Fruit Paté on the planet. Bright with flavor, the sweet ambrosia treats can transport you to a warm, summer day. They are the perfect solution to a craving for sweetness.
About Our Blueberries
We grow four varieties of blueberries on the foot of Vermont's Morrill Mountain. Patriot and North Country are medium-large, sweet with a succulent blueberry taste. Low Bush is related to those sought after wild berries, and Little Giant is a hybrid that combines the size and flavor of wild berries on a tall bush.
Each variety has unique characteristics, all very flavorful.
We combine them to blend blueberry flavors that give us the most succulent flavor in Nanarella's Fruit Paté.
