Haskap Berries
A Superfood Grown in Our Own Backyard
What We Grow
TUNDRA HASKAP BERRIES
Tundra Haskaps are firm, thin skin berries that melts in your mouth. The Tundra variety is shaped like an elongated bell and so very juicy, with a tangy, sweet flavour.
INDIGO GEM HASKAP BERRIES
Indigo Gem Haskaps are small and oval shaped with a thicker skin and flesh than other haskaps, making them slightly chewier. When cooked, the thicker skin allows them to hold their shape with the sweetness of a plum-like flavour.

What are the Health Benefits of Haskap Berries?
Antioxidants

Polyphenols
Polyphenols help reduce inflammation in the body tissues and organs.
