Alaska Birch Syrup Wild Harvest: Shop

Loved stopping here.The Blueberry icecream with Blueberry Syrup were the best i’d ever had in the US. It was just perfect, not everybody gets this flavor right.The Birch icecream with Birch caramel syrup tasted almost similar to caramel icecream. You’ll enjoy this if you like caramel.The icecream and the birch cream caramel candy were so good we visited again before we leave Talkeetna. Never knew about Birch syrup before this. Its kind of like slightly caramelized maple syrup if I’m not wrong. They have wide range of syrups and candies, you can even taste them before buying. We bought so many Birch cream caramel candies and had then throughout our Alaska trip.

Ever heard of Birch Syrup, we hadn't!On the way back from Talkeetna we saw this place. They offered a Tour and Tasters.The staff was very friendly and answered all of our questions. They had a short film and showed us the process from tapping their 10000 plus trees to cooking the Sap.They have a nice shop offering the Birch Syrup, Candy and Ice cream.If you are in the area give them a visit and introduce yourself to Birch Syrup Products.

Best stop in Talkeetna! Had a lot of samples of all of their products. Similar to maple syrup, yet different. They offered a free tour that took 20 minutes where they went through the entire birch syrup making process with samples of the syrup at different days during the tree tapping season (21ish days). All tasted very different with so much more flavor than your typical maple syrup. Family ran and sustainable business. Such a great store. A must visit if you’re in the area!

Must visit tasting place.. Nicely explained differently harvested syrup and got to taste their flavors. Bit expensive but worth the tasting and get to know it’s different flavors.

Okay for a little gift shop. Pretty straight forward with typical gift store prices. They sell small dishes of local flavor ice creams for $6. She let me taste the Fireweed (not sure if ice cream samples are a thing, she seemed reluctant). It had no flavor so I opted to get a dish of Blueberry which also lacked flavor. Nice quick tour, and it was nice to be able to taste most of their products. Spent less than 20 minutes. Would probably just keep an eye out on their website for discounts and deals versus returning for touristy gifts.Random chairs spread out in front lawn, porch didn 't appear to be welcoming to uests, so I was confused about this. Maybe they have events or it 's meant for women ice cream days. It was near closing time and the kids working seemed eager to get off. It 's possible it just wasn 't kempt. The main Birchwood syrup tester was out, which was disappointing too.
