Our primary focus this year will be highlighting the benefits of pruning, covering the essential “do's and don’ts” for a successful harvest. The event will also feature a condensed Haskap School led by Dr. Bob Bors. We have a full lineup of activities planned, including:

Expert Speakers: A diverse range of perspectives on the industry.
Grant Opportunities: Information on funding for your orchard.
Live Demos: See harvesters and a drone sprayer in action.
Wine Tasting & Sales: Sample and purchase premium haskap wines.
We’ve a tight schedule and extended Q&A session, so bring your questions and stay for the discussion. A Haskap inspired catered lunch will be provided, so make sure to bring your appetite!
