Final sale

We will be selling raspberries, saskatoons, and honey on Monday August 3 from 1-6 or until we sell out. It has been a difficult year with too much rain and too little sun. Our mandate is to bring you the freshest and best berries that we can, sell them at a reasonable cost, and benefit inner city youth and orphans in Mexico. The youth have learned what it takes to produce a berry crop, earned some money for themselves, and have helped to sponsor two orphans. We are planning for a mission trip next year to visit the orphans. We look forward to serving you and them again next year. Ken and Elly for Berries for Orphans.

We have come to the end of the strawberry season for this year and thank the many people who supported this project. We still intend to bring you saskatoons and raspberries at least one more time this year, but as of yet, no specific date has been set. We'll let you know as soon as possible. Thanks.

Next picking date

Providing that it doesn't rain, we will be at the church lot on Tuesday, July 28 between 2-6 pm, unless we sell out earlier. We hope to have strawberries, raspberries, and saskatoons. See you there.

Next Picking Days

Strawberry season is drawing to a close. We expect to be out at the church lot Thursday, July 23 and Saturday, July 25 from 3:00 - 7:00 p.m. or until we sell out. We will also be selling saskatoons for $5.00/pound or $22 for a 4 litre container (approximately 5 pounds). See you there.

After we are finished with the strawberries, we will be looking forward to selling raspberries when they ripen. We will be selling the raspberries for $5.00/pound or $22 for a 4 litre container.

We're Still Picking

There's rain in the forecast, but we're going to attempt picking strawberries anyway. We'll meet you at the parking lot at approximately 3.00 p.m., Monday, July 20.

After some delay because of weather, we will be at the Portage Church lot on Friday, July 17 and Saturday, July 18 from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m.

Next Picking

Our next projected delivery of pre-picked strawberries to the parking lot of 1420 Portage Avenue is Friday, July 17. Due to unpredictable weather (lots of rain, not enough sun) we will not be able to deliver as frequently as anticipated. We thank you for your patience and your continued support of our project.
Our first picking was July 11. We had 12 youth plus adult supervision. Some had picked before, but for others it was a totally new experience. We look forward to gathering again to share the farm experience with the kids.
