Haskap dyes animal fibres a stunning colour. To learn more go Here.

We raise Haskap for free distribution among people who have the least access to this most-healthy cold climate 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 and a half 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 into supplying this exceptionally nutritious food/plant for free distribution among those who have it least available. We also allow people in our regional community to come and to harvest for personal use for free. We accept no money whatsoever from this fruit.

Living this way nurtures our ability to become ever increasingly compassionate and to encourage the most life-giving elements of genuine community.

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 to which they have access.

COLOUR!

Our orchard is as much an organic work of art as it is anything else, and as such has drawn on intuition, artistry, and craftsmanship in its planting and upkeep as much as it has on our backgrounds in science. It draws out our sense of our place in a more grand enduring pattern that unites us with organic orchard husbandry throughout the ages and across cultures.

FLAVOUR!!!

Both the colouring and flavouring of haskap are:

intense

and treacherous

and overwhelming.

When describing haskap it works best to use use verbs, not nouns.
