 Our berries are the sweetest, freshest tasting berries on earth, grown in some of the most pristine environments imaginable. Whether it’s blueberries, raspberries, cranberries, bakeapples, or partridgeberries, you are guaranteed a perfect pick surrounded by the sweet scent of evergreen trees or the picturesque horizon over the Atlantic Ocean.
Blueberries thrive in harsh climates and you’ll have no trouble finding them throughout our beautiful province. Clinging to rocks weathered by wind, or spreading throughout a spot scoured by fire, you’ll find these berries wherever you hike or walk, making for a delicious rest stop appetizer. Our blueberries are the perfect snack for the health conscious too – our wild, low bush blueberries have been found to have a higher concentration of antioxidants than those found elsewhere, and are only 84 calories per cup. Expect these small, blue circular berries to ripen from late July into early September.
Newfoundland and Labrador’s most unique berry is the bakeapple, also known as the cloudberry in other parts of the world. These small orange and red berries are scattered throughout our province’s bogs and wetlands, and look strikingly similar in shape and size to raspberries. But don’t be fooled by the likeness – have just one and you will know that the bakeapple has a distinct taste and texture all its own. Schedule an outing for late July or mid August and you will have tons of fun seeking out these little berries for your morning jam on toast.
Newfoundland and Labrador berries are 100% natural, clean and organic. Because our environment is virtually untouched by pollution and development, our berries are free of chemicals, pesticides or genetic modification. Worried about wildlife ruining your fun? There are no skunks, poison ivy, poison oak or venomous spiders in our province. If you’re still not convinced, there are a number of U-pick berry farms and shops in the province that would be happy to help get that perfect bushel of berries without all of the work.
Our berries are perfect for jams, pastries, sauces and other homemade delights, and we are great at coming up with delicious recipes. Our wineries, for example, produce a variety of dessert wines, brandies, and liquors from our native berries that are natural, sweet, and of the highest quality.
Come and see for yourself just how tasty our berries can be, and explore the natural landscape while picking your fill.
