H. Logan planted seeds in his garden near Santa Cruz, California, in an attempt to get a better blackberry. He planted two varieties of blackberry (the Aughinbaugh and the Texas Early) and happened to place them alongside an old variety of red raspberry (name unknown but resembling the Red Antwerp). An unusual hybrid resulted: a plant very similar to the Aughinbaugh parent but very much larger and of stronger growth: the Loganberry. The first fruit of this unintentional cross between a blackberry and a raspberry was tasted on May 31, 1883. For more history, click here.(January 2004)              Greenbank Farm. Amid an open field of flowering grasses sat a red-and-white refurbished barn the size of a horse stable — a building colossal enough to be rented out for wedding receptions, which it often is. Alongside it was a duck pond, Volkswagen-sized oak wine casks, and a walkway that led to an adjacent cafe.     The 100-year-old farm, originally a dairy, by the mid-1940s grew to be the country's largest producer of loganberries, a reddish bramble fruit. Berries grown here were long ago used to make wine for Pomerelle, an ancestor of Chateau Ste. Michelle and, more recently, to make Whidbeys Loganberry Liqueur. In the mid-1990s, the farm was put up for sale, and saved from subdivision by community activists who persuaded Island County and other conservationists to buy and preserve it.     Today, loganberries still grow here, though in smaller quantity, and the farm buildings house Whidbey Pies Cafe, a tiny cafe specializing in loganberry pie, beside a winery that still specializes in loganberry wines, now under the Greenbank Farm label. (The winery shop also carries other wines from around the region.)(October 2005)          Whidbey’s Greenbank Farm, the largest loganberry farm in the United States. The original 1930’s barns have been restored to house the liqueur production for Whidbey’s Loganberry Liqueur.(September 2007)       Q: Why has Ste. Michelle stopped producing Whidbeys Liqueur? My wife and I took a romantic getaway some 16 years ago to the island and fell in love with the winery and liqueur. I hear now it's almost impossible to get liqueur with the Whidbey logo.   A: I asked Kari Leitch, director of communications for Ste. Michelle Wine Estates, to update me on the status of the liqueur.The loganberry liqueur, which I recall was absolutely scrumptious on top of ice cream, was discontinued, she reports, because the company was no longer able to source a sufficient quantity of loganberries. That may have something to do with the fact that Ste. Michelle sold the Whidbey property (Greenbank Farm) some years ago; it is now a pasture. This is something you may never see again on eBay.... for the lovers do not share... they can't, they love this stuff too much!!I  believe my starting bid is reasonable; bid early and place the highest bid you are willing to pay in order to get a chance to get this for the holidays.  When figuring your total cost, be sure to keep the S&H in mind so you won't overbid!! Insurance IS included with the S&H fee.If I missed anything that you need to know, Contact MeI will obviously wrap this item very well to ensure you receive it in the same wonderful condition you see in the photo.  By the way, the item you see in photos is the actual item you are bidding on and will receive shortly after your winning payment clears!I will only accept PayPal for my auctions and WILL NOT ship overseas.  If you are in Hawaii or Alaska, please contact me before bidding; unfortunately the S&H fees may be higher..Keep an eye on my auctions - I have many other collectible bottles coming up, to include * Limited Edition Kahlua Inca style bottle (sealed) * Large 1 Liter Kahlua bottle (sealed) * Bourbon, Whiskey/Whisky *Vintage Liqueurs * and whatever else I find in our old collection! ~  750ml * Sealed Bottle* 44 Proof  * Alc. 22% by Vol.  ~  Whidbeys LiqueurM.
