Berry Supports Theory that the Worse it Tastes, the Healthier it is

Want sneak peaks? Some neat recipes? I'm collaborating with Chef Signe Langford on a delicious book: Olives, Lemons & Figs. Find out how to use olives, lemons, and figs from fruit to root to shoot, including fig-wood smoked fare, fizzy lemon-leaf apéritifs, and lots more. Click here so you don't miss our updates.

One is quite healthy but tastes awful. One is very juicy and suited to processing. And one is suited to eating fresh.

In this episode we look at 3 fruit crops: aronia (a.k.a. chokeberry), elderberry, and haskap (a.k.a. honeyberry).

Agronomist Laurie Brown from Cultur'Innov explains how to grow these minor fruit crops, talks about the opportunities for growers, and tells us where they’re at in terms of commercialization.

Cultur'Innov is a co-op focused on lesser-known fruit, nuts, and forest crops such as ginseng and mushrooms. This Quebec multi-stakeholder co-operative has both farmers and employees as members. 

The co-op helps its farmer members with different aspects of production:
  • Understanding crop opportunities
  • Setting up for a crop
  • Growing the crop
  • Processing opportunities
