Most of us have not heard of haskap berries. But that is about to change.
In the world of berries, haskaps are often compared to blueberries.
Haskap berries are slightly larger, coming in at about twice the size, and elongated rather than round. The colour is similar. Both grow on bushes reaching 1.5 to 2 metres high, making them easy to pick.
The big difference between the two is their growing requirements. Blueberries need highly acidic soil which is why we need to drive to Bothwell for the best berries.
Alternatively, we could drive to South Haven, Mich., considered to be the Blueberry Capital of Michigan.
