Haskap – new fruit on block

Honeyberry (haskap) fruit has the colour and texture of blueberry, but has a unique oval shape resembling a macaroni noodle. It’s taste is in a class by itself with a wonderful blend including flavours of raspberry and blueberry. The fruit needs no destemming or pitting and is ready for fresh‐eating  or processing right off of the bush.

Stop by our country store for haskap jam and topping made from our hand-picked fruit. The taste of these new fruit products will amaze you!

We also sell haskap plants to local gardeners and orchardists. Remember two different cultivars are needed for pollination and fruit set.
