Quick Bites: Merry Berry Frozen Yogurt
It’s sad to say, but summer’s clearly giving way to fall in the Upper Peninsula. The leaves are starting to turn, the nights are getting cooler, the days noticeably shorter. Worse than any of that, we just discovered an amazing frozen yogurt stand — on its last day in town until next summer! 
Merry Berry Frozen Yogurt sells a sweet-tart, fresh-tasting version of the icy concoction that is absolutely refreshing and delicious (like Pinkberry, for those who are familiar with the popular chain). When we visited there was a choice of passionfruit or “plain” yogurt, with a wealth of toppings including fruit sauces and chocolate chips — 100 percent delicious and grown-up tasting, though the 11-year old we had along loved it too.
The brainchild of a West Coast native and former Chassell, MI resident spends her summers in the Houghton area, the yogurt is sold out of a large trailer that is something like an updated, slightly less mobile version of a traditional ice cream truck. If all goes well she’d like to franchise the trailers and spread yogurt cheer far and wide, and if there’s any justice in the world she should have a chance to do that.
In the meantime, we’ll be counting the days until Merry Berry’s trailer appears again in Houghton next summer. PS for Merry Berry: We’d love it if you’d leave us a comment here and let us know the date you’ll be back!
