 The Granchain Exhibit is a compilation of documentation, period artifacts, and information on Liberge de Granchain, a celebrated world figure of the late 18th century. It outlines his political and commercial involvement with the French Shore and the French history of the area from the early 1500s to the signing of the “Entente Cordiale” in 1904. A website will be available soon!
The
Dark Tickle Company is located in Griquet, on the Great
Northern Peninsula in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
We manufacture jams, sauces, vinegars, teas, drinks and
chocolates from unique wild berries. These berries, picked
by hand, are carefully processed without additives resulting in a quality product that is both distinctive and delicious.
 A
'tickle' is a narrow channel of water, which in our case
is dark due to its surrounding high hills. It is also the
area in Griquet where we are located and as represented
by the picture in our labels.
In June of 2002, The Dark Tickle Company became the first
Économusée in Newfoundland and Labrador. Born in Quebec
in 1992, the Économusée concept promotes traditional craft
skills using educational tours with museum-like interpretation.   An interpretive trail leads you to a typical Newfoundland
bog where wild berries thrive in their native habitat. Relish
a sampling at 'The Berry Patch', our in house tea room,
or browse our boutique for a wide variety of Newfoundland
arts, crafts, and berry products. Visitors wishing to learn
more about the ecology of wild berries, their past and present
uses, or how to identify them in their natural environment
may peruse our documentation and interpretation area where
a growing collection of books and other resources are readily
available.
