### 🌿 Beyond the Blueberry – A Berry That Grows Where Others Struggle
Inspired by our recent conversation around industrial food — and sparked by ’s post on blueberries — I came across a native superfood story that feels deeply aligned with our pursuit of resilience, nutrient density, and growing what thrives without force.
Meet Aronia (Chokeberry), a North American native berry that has been overlooked, even dismissed, while sweeter imports took center stage. Yet its story is one of quiet strength, maximum nourishment, and true ecological fit.
If you’re curious about food that grows with nature — not against it — this short video is a wonderful watch:

#### 💬 Let’s keep the conversation rooted:
- Have you grown or foraged Aronia?
- What other native or resilient plants are you growing that ask little but give much?
- How do we shift from only growing what’s sweet and easy… to growing what’s strong and true?
This isn’t about replacing one berry with another — it’s about remembering what our land already knows how to grow, and recognizing the wisdom in plants that don’t need to be coddled, sprayed, or subsidized.
I’d love to hear what comes up for you.
