Berry picking -Our berries are the sweetest, freshest tasting berries on earth, grown in some of the most pristine environments imaginable. 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. 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 Schedule an outing for late July or mid August
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.
