Maqui, a chance to live like the locals do, this rare and reportedly tasty (somewhat like a tangy blueberry) fruit with the equally tasty common name of wineberry grows only in Argentina and Chile. Luckily we received wild seeds from FRBC board member Cody Hinchliff! The glossy evergreen leaves are not the  commercial selling point here but are nonetheless pleasant enough. Unfortunately these are frost-sensitive so unless we can somehow coax them into fruiting in the greenhouses we will remain jealously unawares of the flavor of both wine and fruit, but we make this sacrifice for you our adventurous customer base. (We expect a refrigerated truck bearing the bountiful results of your cultivation!)
