Is it really August 9th already?? Raspberry season is coming to a close but there are still berries to pick if you come soon! Black currants are in full swing and ready for picking.

If you've never tasted the sweet joy of honey yellow raspberries, you should come out to Rhodes' Raspberries in the next 4 days. These two rows of berries are at their peak, loaded, and delicious. They are sweeter and less tart than red raspberries. Upick berries are $3.00/lb. and we are open 8-6pm daily. They are amazing and they WILL NOT LAST! Happy picking!
Unfortunately, due to wind and picking, Saskatoon berry season is now over. However, black currant season is upon us (and we still have lots of raspberries). So come on down and pick some! Why black currants? They "contain more vitamin C than any other natural food source - containing almost four times as much as an orange." They also have anti-cancerous properties and can help fight cardiovascular disease.
