After a number of successful years in the export hay business, we were looking to expand our hay operation, but the cost of buying additional land in our area was not feasible nor was there any available farmland close by for rent either. So, we decided we needed a change of direction for the farm. After a number of weeks of contemplation as to what the next phase would look like, at some point we noticed the 3 saskatoon bushes we planted in our garden a couple of years back were really thriving and producing lots of fruit. That was the eureka moment when we got out of the hay business and into the Saskatoon berry business. This is a photo of us seeding the rows to grass after planting our first saskatoon bushes you see as little sticks in the ground covered by mulch. This photo is of our U-pick field closest to the entrance.
