In order for the experience to be fruitful for all we ask you pick where assigned or you will be asked to leave. Bushes must be picked clean.
Our goal is to harvest the Haskap bushes as efficiently as possible. We go over the bushes first with our mechanical harvester so that frozen berries are available year round. The harvester can't get the berries down low so we welcome any upickers who want to partner with us and pick these berries.
All Haskap orchards need two varieties to cross pollinate to get berries. Our orchard basically has Indigo Gem and Aurora varieties. Both are great tasting and super healthy. The Indigo Gem are a smaller rounder berry (top in picture) and the Aurora are a larger more oval shaped berry (bottom in picture).
We know that food grown on healthy land with healthy farming is healthy food. We act as stewards of this land, caring for its health to support yours.

Bokey Blooms Farms was established by Shauna Bokenfohr in 2014. The orchard is located on the same quarter of land in Sturgeon County, near Morinville, Alberta that her father Jim purchased and cleared. The land has been farmed by her parents Jim and Ruby for over 50 years. Shauna Bokenfohr is the 5th generation of farmers who immigrated from the family farm in Brenken Germany in 1902 to farm in Canada. Shauna’s partner Ross Ehalt has joined the farm operation and brings with him a wealth of experience and enthusiasm for a new adventure. His family also has multi generational ties to farming in Humboldt, Saskatchewan.
Shauna has a diploma from Olds College in Production Horticulture in addition to a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Alberta and earning her designation as a Chartered Professional Accountant. Ross has a Masters in Education from the University of Calgary and a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy from the University of Alberta. Ross also brings a keen interest in maintaining and building various equipment and projects.
Shauna and Ross’s vision is to keep the family farm tradition going with a sustainable crop of healthy and nutritious Haskap berries. Currently their orchard is 6 acres and they have a small production facility where they can process the mechanically harvested Haskap berries.
