Pick and Play

Buzzing Bees Adventure Farm in Sunderland, Ont. is opening to the public for the first our Haskap berry (AKA Honeyberry) orchard for a U-Pick. We’ll be opening weekends from June 29th till July 28th for our 8 varieties of Haskap berries.

Also included, your family can enjoy a number of fun activities like the pedal kart track, field bowling, elastic band shooting range, toddler pedal tractors, giant sand box, slides and more.

Admission is $10 per person which include two 170g containers of U-pick Haskap berries and access to the play area. Children 2 and under are included with adult admission. 

Haskap berries also known as Honeyberry is a new super fruit that has been found in the wild in every province in Canada except for British Columbia. Through some great work from the University of Saskatchewan new Canadian varieties have been developed. The taste is quite often compared to a cross between raspberry and blueberry, with a vitamin C zing. Haskap berries are high in Vitamin C and A, fiber, and potassium. Specifically they have three times the antioxidants of a blueberry, similar amount of  vitamin C to an orange and almost as much potassium as a banana. They are extremely high in antioxidants such as Anthocyanins, Poly Phenols, and Bioflavanoids.

Available upon request are tours of our 1375 sq/ft geodesic growing dome. You can learn how the unique design and feature allow for growing all year round without external heat.
