We raise Haskap for free distribution, especially among people who have the least access to this most-healthy, North American fruit.

Our orchard was first planted in 2005 and started with 70 non-varietal edible blue honeysuckle seedlings purchased from the U of SK at a field day and planted into our apple orchard.

A year later we moved them to a better location and have continued to add plants until we now have nearly 3,000 bushes from a vast variety of genetic lineages (both new-world developments and old-world wild lines) in various stages of production on seven acres of land.

We attended and signed-on at the organizational meeting of Haskap Canada and served on its board of directors in its formative years.

Over the years our work here has matured as a Catholic Worker farm extended community into supplying this exceptionally nutritious food/plant for free distribution among those who have it least available.

Living this way nurtures our ability to become ever increasingly compassionate, making us more fully human.

eating is a shared free human right

no one should have to worry about

from where their next meal will come

nor the quality of the food

COLOUR!

our orchard is as much an organic work of art as it is anything else, and elicits artistry and craftsmanship and a sense of one's place in a more grand enduring pattern that unites organic orchard husbandry throughout the ages

FLAVOUR!!!
