Traverse City chocolatier Grocer’s Daughter was told this spring that its longtime supplier had no dried cherries left for the rest of the season.
Owner Jody Hayden said the response was unprecedented in more than 20 years of business, turning a routine reorder into a supply shock.
The shortage centers on a key ingredient for the Michigan-based chocolate maker, leaving it without access to dried cherries through season’s end.
