Now, looking over our farm, the overall impression is … Continue reading Greeting the Green

Hi! Our harvester is busy shaking the saskatoons off the bushes and as a result, our u-pick is coming to an end. We’ll be open tomorrow, August 7th, and likely Sunday, August 8th as well, but that will be about the end of things. The picking is still pretty easy and there will be lots … Continue reading Winding up the U-Pick

For being so early in the season, it has been surprisingly easy to fill a bucket with perfect saskatoons! Guests the last couple of days have been thrilled with the results of their labour. There have been more haskaps ripening up as well. They are a tiny variety, and require patience to pick, but again … Continue reading July 19

Tomorrow is our opening day for the saskatoons! Mike and I were working hard getting some water to the bushes. The saskatoon harvest looks to be plentiful, and although it is still in the early stages, the ripe berries are large and delicious! Continue reading Getting Ready!

Today as Mike and I were weeding along a row of saskatoons, we were pleasantly surprised to see several that were ready to pick. It’s still too early to be able to pick clusters, but for the eager saskatoon-lover who wants an early start on their 2021 season, we’ll be open every day starting July … Continue reading Start Making Your Plans to Visit

Hi friends. In the spirit of full disclosure, the ripe haskaps (honeyberries) are getting scarce and it isn’t easy picking. However, if you are mostly looking for an outing, we will still be open from 9am to 6pm, and you can enjoy the baking and our farm attractions. We have a fun centre that is … Continue reading July 10
