Do you have any information about a wider release of Balaton in the next couple of years. West Michigan doesn't have a Whole Foods, or really and decent places to buy MI products except directly from the blueberry farms. I was even up in TC and couldn't get fresh Balaton!
For years we planned our trips home to Hungary around sour cherry picking time. Hungarian sour cherries are the BEST!!!
