Hi...I am hoping you can help me!!! I am in desperate need of either wintergreen or checkerberry (preferably checkerberry) extract. I have searched high and low and can not find any in my local area (Portland, ME). Is this something that you would carry on a seasonal basis?
Thanks for any help you may be able to offer!

Watkins usually carries wintergreen extract during the holiday season, but they didn't this year. They do have other seasonals like Irish Creme and Danish Pastry.
Do a search on this forum, you'll see several entries for checkerberry, leading ultimately to a proposed future website of The House of Checkerberry in Guilford, Conn. Maybe a very future since it's been up there incomplete for a year or so. But you can e-mail them and ask. David Dudley is the owner of the site, and you can see a story about his drugstore and checkerberry flavored ice cream at The Largest Town Green.
The stuff is obviously around, because some places (resorts, hotels, drugstores) in the Adirondack mountains serve desserts made with checkerberry. But I have been unable to find any other commercial source except for wholesale or medicinal use, not what you want to bake with.
If anyone can help by supplying a source, please let use know.
