This is the video from our visit with Chef Heidi from Cookin' on the Coast! It was so fun having her and her camera crew! We made a Saskatoon rhubarb crumb top pie. Her crew brought out the drone and got some really cool shots of the orchard!

Open again at the farm after two weeks of rest! We are back at the Duncan Farmers Market again for the winter too!

We are open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 9-5, closed Sundays and Mondays.

The four seasons of the orchard!

We won’t be at the Duncan Market or at the Cedar Market this weekend. We are prepping for the Saanich Fair this weekend! We will be there Saturday, Sunday and Monday!

The Saskatoon Berry upick is done for 2024. The berries are tucked into the freezer for year round sales now!

On the other hand- it looks like the chokecherries are ready for anyone interested. Upick only!

07/22/2024

Upick can continue for a couple days if you didn’t make it out but the berries probably won’t last more than a few days! We are open 9-5 every day.

07/20/2024

Back at the Duncan Farmers Market tomorrow with a limited supply of one pound Saskatoon berries! The upick is still going strong but I expect the berries to start shrivelling in the heat very soon! For now though, they are still pretty nice!

Had a visit from Cowichan Milk Company’s photographer! She took some great pictures!

Too hot to pick? We have fresh pre-picked available too! Open 9-5 daily.

07/07/2024

At the Cedar Farmers Market Sunday, July 7th. We have limited one pound packages of fresh Saskatoon Berries on hand. Then we are off from that market for two weekends (back July 28th) while we finish the harvest on the farm! We will have fresh berries available at the farm, probably until the third week of July.

07/06/2024

We will have a limited number of one pound clamshells of fresh picked Saskatoon berries at the Duncan market tomorrow (Saturday). My dad and I picked a couple pails by hand ahead of our harvester heading in Saturday night to see what we can get!

07/05/2024

The Saskatoon berries are getting big, ripe and ready and the Upick will be open Monday, July 8th!


We hope to be open for 3 weeks, but if it is hot outside the season can be shorter than that.

A Upick pail is about 6 lbs and costs $15. Pails are provided. No need to make an appointment. We are open daily from 9-5. You can call us if you have questions but we might be busy with customers and you will have to leave a message.

Pre-picked fresh berries will be available as of Monday, July 8th: 5 lbs costs $20 and one pound is $5. We can accept cash, credit or debit.

Sorry, no pets are allowed, please don't leave your pet in your vehicle when out picking - it's just too hot to risk it.

Besides the popular fresh berries, we also have:
Fresh baking daily with Saskatoon berries in scones, tarts and pies.
Preserves, like jam, jelly and syrup.
We are open 9-5 daily, year round, so if you can't get to the farm during fresh berry season, we will have frozen berries on hand throughout the year too.

Not ready yet but getting closer! Fingers crossed for sunshine this week!

06/25/2024

Saskatoon berries need some more warm weather and sunshine! Upick likely won’t start until July 5th! Trees are dripping with a ton of berries though!

Pies are popular this time of year!

Berry pies give us the summertime vibes 😎☀️
Especially local South Island Saskatoons pie!

It is business, as usual here at the farm! Open 9-5 every day with frozen berries, ready to bake pies, jam, jelly, syrup and fresh baking every day. Also, we are at the Duncan Farmers Market on Saturdays and the Cedar Market on Sunday with all the frozen product, baking and preserves but we bring bonus Saskatoon cinnamon buns there too! In the meantime…..the berries are still ripening on the trees, and the harvester is all tuned up and ready to go! Still hoping for upick July 1st!
