What Makes Mom’s Strawberry so special to Rochella?
Five Reasons Why Mom's Strawberry Fruit Leathers Are the Best!
Mom's Strawberry Fruit Leathers has only two ingredients. Organic real strawberries & a small portion of Minnesota-grown organic raw honey.
Temperature: Rochella is very strict about limiting the temperature by dehydrating leathers to 115 degrees. If the leathers are heated to over 117 degrees, the nutrient values from the berries will die, and you will get nothing. But with Mom's Strawberry Leathers, you will get good sources of vitamin C and antioxidants. Mom's strawberry leathers are dried for about 15 hours.
Made from REAL berries, unlike stores' artificial flavors or fruit juice concentrates. Store-bought leathers are usually full of refined sugar, causing your blood sugar level to spike.
Mom's Strawberry is a perfect snack for children and adults! You can bring Mom's Strawberry with you anywhere—to camping/hiking/biking/shopping/road trips, to work, to parties, to vacations, to the beach, to sporting events—the possibilities are endless!
It tastes so delicious. And the best thing? It is absolutely, completely, and totally... a real fruit!

A Bit History Behind the Mom's Strawberry
Shirley is my mom. She is truly a "CHAMP" when it comes to being creative, especially with healthy food. She had so many amazing and unforgettable skills to prepare meals straight from the garden. While growing up, I was always so amazed at how she prepared, cooked, and made food completely from scratch with LOVE. Her cooking never failed to taste like heaven. Visitors who came to the farm always mentioned how delicious the food my mom prepared, cooked, and served was. She always smiled with that smile of hers.
Guess what? Her passion in cooking has passed down to me. We loved to discuss food, as we always shared and compared recipes together. I knew I would follow her footsteps when I was growing up but I have found myself following her footsteps more than I thought I would by preparing food the way she did. For example, I have never and never will buy strawberry jam from a store. I have to make it from scratch, just like my mom. As you know, "because mom says so..." 🙂
I spent so many happy moments cooking with my mom and making meals while I continued to learn from her when I lived at my parents' farm after I graduated from college. We made meals and poured love into those meals together for countless family gatherings. To put those times in words would literally be impossible, but I am and will always be forever grateful for the times I spent in the kitchen by my mom's side. Between preparing meals, we made time to talk, laugh, and establish memories that I hold very dearly and deep in my heart. In return, she gave me the irreplaceable passion as well as the talent to cook and prepare healthy meals from scratch.
