I sold tons of it as a kid, haven't seen a buyer for a couple of years now.

Downright too bad there's no market currently. I was going to hand the kids the pack basket and draw knives come spring. Grandparents and uncles all used to collect it.

There is still a decent market for Cascara Bark. Many companies pulverize it into powder and sell it by the lb.
