What the heck is haskap?These little treasures are found across the boreal regions of the world, including the northern tip of Japan, where is it known as "haskappu" by the Ainu people and is prized as the berry of eyesight and longevity. We like to tell people that it tastes like a raspberry and a blueberry had a baby, although that is DEFINITELY not what happened in the case of this delicious northern native fruit.

When are haskap berries in seasonHaskap is one of the first fruits to ripen in the spring, and is often in season just ahead of strawberries, or at the same time. On our farm we harvest haskap from mid-late June until early-mid August.

Do you have a pick your own field?We do! Our main pick your own field offers our favourite varieties of haskap - they are sweet and juicy and ideal for fresh berry eating!
