This is our largest Seabuckthorn berry bush. This berry is slowly becoming well known for its high omega oil and vitamin C content. Not quite a fresh eating berry due to the fact that it’s very sour but the aroma from the bush is fantastic. Very slow to harvest because of its sharp thorns but it’s worth it.
We discovered that the flavour of this berry works wonders when blended with the strawberries and raspberries.
We make a thick concentrated juice from these to add to the jams. ❤️

Goji berries are cold hardy and can take a few frosts. Because we were blessed with such a mild November last year, we had a bumper crop of goji berries which enabled us to make our goji berry jelly! I took this video November 10/22. The bush looks a little sad since most of the leaves had fallen but the berries were delicious.

The most frequent question I was asked at the market last summer was “can you grow Goji Berries in Ontario?” Yes you can!

Here is an example of one of our bushes blooming last September. We have been getting two harvests a year from our Goji bushes. One in July and the second later in the fall.

Goji Berry Low Sugar Jelly.

This special jelly is our pride and joy. Trying to discover a flavour and texture took a few attempts. This berry actually has an unusual sweet/bitter taste when eaten raw. We left some pulp in the juice to add nutrition, so this jelly is not as clear as the elderberry jelly. Also. this is fantastic in plain greek yogurt!

Ingredients: Organic Goji Berry Juice, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Lemon Juice, Pomona's Pectin with calcium, vanilla, ginger

What's new in 2023?

Spring is on its way and as I look through pictures from last years growing season I'm saddened we are no longer growing veggies for the farmers market.

Thank you to all our amazing veggie customers over the past 3 years!

We will certainly miss growing yummy veggies for market but transitioning into a berry farm is so exciting, especially growing these nutrient dense very special berries. This year we will continue to expand our Goji Berries, Seabuckthorn Berries, Elderberries and raspberries and a few strawberries of course. As well, preparing for a small raspberry U Pick for 2024.

Some of our berries are naturally super sweet like the strawberries, but others are not quite a fresh eating berry. So we have been having fun experimenting with different flavour combinations to create a product with low sugar and bursting with berry goodness.
Voila....we have 5 varieties of berry preserves each with its own quality.

95% organic with quality real ingredients.

We hope you like our special jams and jellies. They have gone through rigorous taste testing (thank you friends and family!)

We always welcome feedback and suggestions!

More details about each Jam and jelly will follow shortly.
