Grunthal Berries

These are the peaches I wait for:

🚨🚨 Ontario Peaches are now freestone!! 🚨🚨
Wooo! The beautiful Ontario Peaches are now officially freestone, which means they'll separate from the flesh much easier, making them perfect for fresh eating or canning.

We've got boxes for sale for those looking for large quantities!
/
🚨🚨 Grosse alerte! 🚨🚨 Les pêches de l'Ontario sont maintenant à noyaux libres! Ceci veut dire que leurs noyaux se séparent facilement de la chair, parfait pour ceux qui veulent canner des pêches!

Boîtes disponibles aussi!

Look at this great colour of wild plum juice!
(It's kinda bitter actually... nothing a bit of sugar can't fix)

Please check pfga.com for fruit farms.
Reminder that it's a tough year for fruit farmers because of excessive rain. Be patient if you come across poorer quality berries.

I think I may have found a nearby farm that has berries that taste like Grunthal Berries... they have Sandy soil, like we do... which typically produces really sweet berries.
Hildebrant Growers has an Instgram account.
Address is 30070 Road 32 E
204-381-6912

M&E in Hadashville also has excellent tasting berries.

Remember: all the strawberries on farms this year have immense disease pressure due to all the rain.
I noticed that Hildebrant has some brown spots on their berries... these spots can be trimmed and do not affect strawberry flavour. The brown spotted strawberries can easily be cooked into jam. It will be fine. (For freezer jam, I would take the time to trim the berries...)
Check them out.

It's definitely haskap season! Check pfga.com for a farm near you. (I actually went to Zhoda Family Farm to pick today... they have a FB page).
I'm eating them fresh now, but I also dehydrate them to add to my cereal in winter.

Saskatoons are completely finished blooming in southern Manitoba... now they look like little green berries who still have a 'flower' bottom. Kinda like apples...

Chokecherries have been blooming for a few days. Sorry, I forgot to post earlier.
