What is a Haskap? 

 

The Haskap is a dark blue berry that is often described as a mix between a Blueberry and Raspberry, with a refreshing tartness.

 

It is a very healthy and delicious berry that contains extremely high levels of Vitamin C and Antioxidants.

 

Haskap are well suited to organic production due to their natural pest and disease resistance, extreme tolerance and adaptability to a range of climatic and soil conditions, minimal fertility requirements, and ease of maintenance.

 

Haskaps grow exceptionally well in the Yukon. Some attribute this to the extended daylight hours the far north experiences in the summer months, others say it's the incomparable clean air.

 

Haskaps in the Yukon tend to grow larger and produce more berries per plant than most other jurisdictions.
