A Berry With Deep Roots
Saskatoon berries have grown across prairie landscapes for centuries, thriving in open grasslands and river valleys.
For generations, they were a seasonal fruit enjoyed fresh in summer and preserved to last through winter, becoming part of everyday life for many prairie families.
Founded in 1993, Prairie Berries continues that legacy from Keeler, Saskatchewan, home to the world’s largest Saskatoon berry orchard and processing operation.
