Register at www.haskapcentral.com
Registration fee: $65.00

With the University of Saskatchewan taking a hiatus from hosting Haskap Days this year, Haskap Central is happy to organize Haskap Day 2026 on July 18th.

Our primary focus this year will be highlighting the benefits of pruning, covering the essential “do's and don’ts” for a successful harvest. The event will also feature a condensed Haskap School led by Dr. Bob Bors. We have a full lineup of activities planned, including:

Expert Speakers: A diverse range of perspectives on the industry.
Grant Opportunities: Information on funding for your orchard.
Live Demos: See harvesters and a drone sprayer in action.
Wine Tasting & Sales: Sample and purchase premium haskap wines.
We’ve a tight schedule and extended Q&A session, so bring your questions and stay for the discussion. A Haskap inspired catered lunch will be provided, so make sure to bring your appetite!
