Nipawin group hopes to grow Sask. fruit sector
Saskatchewan’s fruit sector is ripe for the picking but there are not enough producers to meet the demand.
The Twin Lakes Planning Commission, out of Nipawin, is hoping to change that. They are hosting a special workshop Monday, March 14, in the hopes of getting more producers interested in growing Haskap or Saskatoon berries.
Chris Hudyma with the Town of Nipawin said there’s a great deal of global interest in Saskatchewan fruit.
“Right now our goal is to introduce the middle class of the world to these great products that are grown here in Saskatchewan. It’s kind of our little secret,” he said.
