Description

This 13-acre organic honeyberry (haskap) farm in Falmouth, Nova Scotia, offers a turnkey U-Pick and wholesale operation. Located just 10 minutes from Windsor and 45 minutes from Halifax, it features 4.2 acres planted with approximately 3,500 premium haskap bushes. The property is currently undergoing a subdivision process, with a new PID to be assigned upon completion. The farm cultivates five next-generation, large, sweet, and tangy haskap varieties, providing an extended harvest from mid-June through early August. Established sales channels include direct-to-consumer marketing through social media, pre-orders for Halifax pickup, farmers' markets, and restaurant partnerships. The U-Pick operation attracted over 1,000 customers in its first season, demonstrating strong local demand and excellent word-of-mouth growth. Managed using organic practices, the farm uses no pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. Haskap plants are exceptionally cold-hardy, thrive in Nova Scotia's climate, and become more productive each year. A valuable feature is the underground drainage system installed approximately 3 feet deep with 10-foot spacing, allowing excess spring moisture to drain efficiently and providing earlier access to the land each season. The property sits on a hill with panoramic views of the Avon River, offering direct road access and electrical service. Zoned Agricultural Priority, it preserves the land's farming value while still permitting residential construction. A creek runs alongside the property, offering potential for a future pond or small lake. Berry production requires only about two months of active work per year, making this an ideal opportunity for a family-run operation with established income potential and room for future growth.
