🫐 Berry Good News: It’s Saskatoon Season! 🫐
For over 30 years, Mary & Vince Fehr have been running their orchard growing juicy Saskatoons with love and care near Osler, SK. We are delighted to announce that their short, but sweet picking season started today! Saskatoons are $12 per 4 litre pail for the U-pick and $25 per 4 litre pail for pre-picked. Call or text Mary for more details and check out their page, Vince and Mary Fehr U-Pick, for directions.
Saskatoons are one of our favourite berries on the prairies, but one that we do not have room to grow on our urban farm. Fortunately, we discovered Mary and Vince’s orchard years ago and it is our family’s annual tradition to pick enough berries to eat fresh for the season and freeze the rest for our family to enjoy the remainder of the year!
Did you know that Saskatoon berries are a great tasting source of natural dietary fibre that supports overall gut health? Saskatoon berries are loaded with twice as much fibre and antioxidants as blueberries. Promising research is also suggesting that Saskatoon Berry consumption can produce measurable improvements in blood sugar levels and provide cholesterol lowering activity.
Don’t miss your chance to support a local family orchard and stock up on one of Saskatchewan’s healthiest treasures. Grab your bucket and your gut and future self will thank you for it!
