We specialize in growing high-quality specialty berries including haskap, black currant, aronia, and schisandra. Our haskap plantings are an important part of our diversified berry operation.

We continue to expand our orchard each year as we work to bring more awareness to this unique and promising crop. In addition to berry production, Xander Farms is developing on-farm processing capabilities such as freezing and drying in order to offer a wider range of berry products. Our goal is to create a vertically integrated berry operation that connects Ontario-grown fruit with consumers, retailers, and food manufacturers. We are proud to be part of Ontario’s growing haskap community and enjoy working alongside other growers to support the continued development of this exciting berry crop. |
