Frequently Asked Questions

Q What does IQF mean?

A IQF stands for Individually Quick Frozen. We deliver the highest quality Saskatoon berries that nature will allow. We pick them at the peak of ripeness and use the individual quick frozen technique to lock in freshness. This way, we are able to deliver them to restaurants, bakeries, suppliers and processors, year round.

Q Why would I want Saskatoon berries instead of other berries?

A A Saskatoon berry is native to the prairie provinces and have twice as much antioxidant content than blueberries. They also provide dietary fibre, which helps to manage blood glucose in diabetics, helps achieve healthy weight and promotes healthy intestines. Saskatoon Berries are high in magnesium, calcium, potassium and iron. It's an all around Super Fruit!

Q What can you use Saskatoon berries in?

A We sell to bakeries to use in tarts, muffins and many other baked goods. Chef's also love to use them in their menu planning as they are a great compliment to meats like bison and elk. Brewers and distillers are discovering the saskatoon berry's unique flavor that the berries add to beers and spirits.

Q Do you deliver?

A We will deliver our Saskatoon berries to Edmonton, Leduc, Beaumont and surrounding areas, as well as locally, in Millet, Alberta.

"A unique flavour"
I support using your Saskatoon berries 100%. They are very Canadian and have a unique flavour. They are locally grown and I use them in many dishes in several different ways on my menu. They are not like a blueberry that turns soft when cooked.

- Chef Kyle (Homefire Grill, Edmonton, AB)
"Love using Saskatoon Berries"
I love using Saskatoon berries. I like the balance, the sweet tart flavour. They maintain their structure when cooked and provide texture.

- Chef Paul (Workshop Eatery, Edmonton, AB)
"Saskatoon berries are sweet"
Saskatoon berries are sweet, they keep their form and are not mushy when cooked. The flavour remains after cooking.

- Chef (Normands, Edmonton, AB)
"Absolutely Perfect!"
I received an order from here and the Saskatoon berries were absolutely perfect! Also available all year long, so that's really great.
