Herkner's Homemade Cherry Topping

sold by: Herkner's Homemade Cherry Topping (View Business Information)

We three grandmas are trying to improve the economy, one batch of cherry topping at a time. Starting a business in Grandmahood is almost unheard of. Yet we three Michigan grandmas, a dream, cherries and our parents recipe have created an amazingly successful new, small company helping ourselves and the economy.

Our Herkner's Homemade Cherry Topping started with a dream last spring about how to help our sister struggling in Michigan's depressed economy. Our dream became an "ah ha" moment. We three grandmas, who are sisters from the Herkner family of Traverse City, could make cherry topping with our parents' recipe that we sold at our roadside stand on our cherry farm when we were kids. Our love for each other and the bond we share has helped us accomplish this endeavor. We know there is a power much greater than ourselves guiding us through this journey.

We knew our topping was delicious because we had hundreds of customers fifty years ago when we earned enough at our cherry stand to send our father to Europe with the People to People program. Now fifty years later people are still enthusiastic about our cherry topping.

Now the dream has come true. With a superior product, our energy, and guidance from the Michigan State University's Product Center, we are proof that it can be done. Our cherry topping is sold in many stores in Michigan and beyond. This all natural topping is scrumptious over ice cream, great on meats, cheeses, appetizers and also on many desserts.
