Why visit Circle D Ranch?
Welcome to Circle D Ranch! We have a large, fenced, haskap field (8000 bushes) and are offering haskap berry picking as soon as school starts in the fall. Just like our U-Pick, students can take half of what they pick with them, leaving us the other half. The berries could then go home with the students or be used within the school for jam making, muffins, fundraising, etc. We tried this last year with great success!
