Lahave River Berry Farm (@FarmLahave) / Twitter 04/24/2024

Since our government has decided that sharing news articles on FB is not a good thing we have had to post interesting articles on our X (formally Twitter) account.

Anyway, posted an interesting article about fruits grown in Mexico and the amounts of chemicals found on those fruits. It seems that the great deal you just got on your blueberries or raspberries imported from that part of the world is also giving you something else that you may not want to be consuming. Then everyone wonders why cancer rates are increasing in younger people...

Buy from farms that you know and trust how they are growing the food that they sell. Not only are they interested in their health but they are also interested in growing food that is good for people to consume. We go through a lot of effort to be certified organic, but there is a reason why we do this.

Lahave River Berry Farm (@FarmLahave) / Twitter We are an organic berry farm. We grow berries, garlic, cut flowers, & more. We created Berry's Berries juices, and spreads. We sell organic fertilizers.

Growing with nature

We (Chris Berry and Melissa Mersey) started our farm in 2013 in Middle Lahave, Nova Scotia when we planted our first haskap berry orchard which is just under one acre. We use our first orchard as a u-pick, which has been very successful. We are now planting our third haskap berry orchard, which will take up four acres. We are located about 15 minutes from Lunenburg, NS, on the beautiful Lahave River.

We follow a philosophy that plants can be grown naturally without the use of any chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides. It is all about the health of the soil. Our mission is growing healthy, nutrient rich, natural food, beautiful flowers, shrubs, and trees. In 2019 we became a certified organic farm.

We are a small, diverse farm and family of three. Chris is the haskap guy and is always experimenting and learning more about haskaps and the other berries we grow, what works, what doesn’t, which varieties are more suited to our farm and which aren’t. He is always striving to grow and produce the best haskaps, raspberries, and blackberries possible. Our farm is his retirement plan and we are both looking forward to having him home on the farm full time. We have big plans for 2020 to get us closer to this goal.

I (Melissa) work on the farm full-time which allows me to be home with our son. I am very thankful to be able to walk out my back door and be at work. I have always loved really good, healthy food and beautiful flowers and gardens so I planted more perennials and annuals all over our farm for use on my bouquets. I grow and meticulously design all of the bouquets myself. Bouquets are available during the growing season and can be made to order by calling 902-521-1701 or by emailing [email protected]. Bouquets can also be purchased at the Lunenburg Farmer’s Market. I do occasionally borrow a flower or two from a family members garden if it is requested and I don’t have any or enough available.
