Before Darren And Martha’s epic road trip from Toronto to Vancouver two summers ago, neither one of us had heard of Haskap berries (if you’re not familiar, they look like stretched-out blueberries, and they’re quite yummy). We hunted for them in the Prairies, finally sourcing a package of frozen berries in a Moose Jaw natural foods store (to be fair, we were searching for them after the season had ended). Now it seems they’re everywhere. Get fresh, certified organic Haskaps at Wakefield’s Ferme Juniper Farm this weekend.
