My walk-through inspection of our Haskap (Honeyberry) rows today revealed lots of developing fruit. The secret is to lift a branch and look under those fresh, green leaves. Now we will watch as the June sunshine fills and ripens these berries over the next 3-4 weeks. We’ll let you know when they’re ready! #manitobafarm #prairiefruitgrowers #canadianberries

Our Smoky Saskatoons are in full bloom today which means we’re about 45 days to ripe and delicious berries. We are always amazed at the resilience of this native prairie species, waiting patiently to flower until spring truly arrives. Plan to visit us in Portage la Prairie this July for haskap, saskatoons and tart cherries.

This week there’s a “bridal show” at our orchard with plums, cherry plums and tart cherries clad in brilliant white. It’s perhaps the most beautiful week of the year - not to mention an intoxicating fragrance that stops you in your tracks. Three cheers for prairie fruit trees!

Without the efforts of these helpers today, there would be very few haskap berries to pick in July. Haskap must be cross-pollinated for fruit set. That means planting multiple cultivars in your field and ensuring ample pollinating insects on-site to do the heavy lifting.#haskapberryfarm #prairiefruitgrowers #manitobafarmers

What a difference one year makes! Last year at this time our saskatoons had already set fruit, this year they have not even started to flower. This spring’s late flowering means a later date for fruit maturity - likely the week of July 12. Fortunately it does look like some heat is in the forecast 😊

Today we planted our winter rye cover crop on 10 acres of berry crops. Spring-planted cereal rye produces a thick, lush carpet for our summer u-pick traffic. Once the picking season is over the cover crop is incorporated giving a boost of organic matter to our soils. BTW, our haskap started blooming today - 🐝 are very happy!
