Release the Squatch N Berry! PA Wilds and Starr Hill Winery partner up for a wild wine
CURWENSVILLE, PA – Starting February 11th, 2023, Starr Hill Vineyard & Winery will be releasing their new Squatch N Berry wine, which will feature the PA Wilds logo and a QR code to learn more about the elusive cryptid known as Sasquatch!
PA has the third-highest sightings of Sasquatches at nearly 1,300 sightings in 2019, according to a Penn Live article. The PA Wilds region is a 12.5 county region in northwestern and northcentral PA that contains over 2 million acres of public land and only 4% of PA’s population. It makes sense that the elusive Sasquatch would be located in the remote PA Wilds!
“We’re excited to partner with the PA Wilds on this wine,” says Kenn Starr, president of Starr Hill Vineyard & Winery. “The PA Wilds Center has done great work bringing awareness to our region, which is something we have always strived to do as a business. It just made sense to have the logo on our Squatch N Berry wine.”
Ken Starr learned the art of making wine by his father’s side in 1952. In 1994, he purchased the property in Curwensville, Pennsylvania, and planted 12 vines. By 1998, there were 3,000 vines. Starr built a winery in 1998 and started making wine again. The wine was good, prompting him to go commercial in 2005. Starr Hill Vineyard & Winery, located on 13 acres in Clearfield County, produces over 40 varieties of our handcrafted wines for perfect moments.
“Kenn and Starr Hill Vineyard & Winery have been great partners within the communities and region of the PA Wilds,” said Hannah Brock, Licensing Manager at PA Wilds Center for Entrepreneurship. “The wild Squatch N Berry builds on that legacy. It has been a fun collaboration with a leading entrepreneur who understands the importance of where we live.”
When you buy Starr Hill Vineyard and Winery’s Squatch N Berry wine, part of the proceeds go towards the PA Wilds Center for Entrepreneurship. The mission of the PA Wilds Center is to integrate conservation and economic development to strengthen and inspire communities in the Pennsylvania Wilds.
When you are taking a rest from your Sasquatch hunting, be sure to pick up some of Starr Hill Vineyard & Winery’s Squatch N Berry!

Awesome job and happy to see Amy Bue associated with this venture. I had an amazing encounter near Marienville in Forest County in June of 2010. A witness sketch artist did the recreation and it IS spot on to what i saw in the forest. I will have to try this wine now. Best of luck to all associated with this.
We’ll have to keep our eyes peeled next time we’re near Marienville, Dave! If you’re interested in trying the wine, in addition to the Starr Hill Vineyard & Winery’s physical locations, you can also now find the Squatch N Berry wine online at https://bit.ly/squatchnberry.
