Our Story
 |
Now When Jenelle Syverson purchased The Choke Cherry Tree, she moved it to its present location. Conveniently located in the Talisman Plaza Shopping Center, this location is even bigger than the last. The Choke Cherry Tree continues in its tradition of wonderful homemade candies, jams, jellies, syrups and more. Jenelle learned the cooking techniques from Bill, himself, and worked for years cooking the goodies at The Choke Cherry Tree before she purchased it in 2014. |

 The founders the late Bill Goddard and Connie Bunte |
| The
first winter they had no snow until New Years day -
and no tourists which meant no customers; so Bill
passed the time by reading candy books and experimenting
with candy. The first few batches weren't anything
out of the ordinary, but he kept after it and came
up with a winner - our
wonderful homemade caramels.
The rest, as they say, is history. In fact, we outgrew our shop and moved to a larger place about 3 miles west of the first shop. The Choke Cherry Tree now also makes chocolate truffles, toffee and our unique chocolate confections called poops. |
