Current Farm News!

June 7, 2026 Update:

 

We have some tremendously exciting news to share with all our loyal customers and fans.

As most of you know, my wife and I decided to retire a few years back and that meant winding down our beloved Solstice Berry Farm.  The farm has been for sale for a while now, but just this spring we have finally sold it to a very nice young couple.   

 

The new owners are Sarah & Jesse Bydevaate

 

 

Both Sarah and Jesse come from agricultural farming families so they are well versed with farm life, but don’t have a lot of experience with Saskatoon berries.  But not to worry, we will be mentoring them over the next year or so as they get familiar with the berries and the orchard. 

The exciting news is that they are re-opening the U-pick again this summer! 

 

This should make many people very happy again.  The experience of coming to the U-pick will be more like it was when we first started, so they will be starting out very simply.  But we are very confident that they will do a great job!

Stay tuned for further information about the new owners and more details about the farm as soon as they become available.  

Congratulations Sarah and Jesse!!

 

Welcome to your new home!  We are really looking forward to having you as neighbours, and we wish you great success as you begin your Saskatoon Berry journey and take Solstice Berry Farm to the next level!

Who We Are

Solstice Berry Farm is family-owned and operated, growing high quality saskatoon berries since 2003.  We are privileged to be located in the gorgeous foothills of the Rocky Mountains, just NW of Calgary, Alberta. We are a family who are passionate about saskatoons, so much so that we have chosen only to grow these berries.  Saskatoon berries are such a powerhouse of anti-oxidants, nutrition and most importantly, great taste!  On our farm we continually strive to be responsible stewards of the land, and in the process creating a place we call home, we love sharing our journey, passion and experiences with others.  Welcome to our Home!

Pick Your Own Berries

At Solstice Berry Farm we specilize in growing Saskatoon berries exclusively.  Besides growing the best berries, we also hand craft a line of premium artisinal preserves and pies with the berries we grow.  And if you like to pick your own berries, we have a 10 acre u-pick that you can bring the whole family out and enjoy a day on the farm picking the freshest most delicious berries!
