Wild Blueberries are Canada's best known and most popular wild fruit. Wild blueberries have much more flavour than the fat, water-filled farmed berries sold in supermarkets. Our wild blueberries are hand-picked in the northern wilderness. We preserve them by slowly simmering them with organic sugar.
They can be used as a spread, a desert topping, added to fruit salads, used in sauces, gravies and reductions with meats and fowl. They can also be used in tart fillings, mixed into muffin mixes, or to top a cheesecake. Or, of course, they can be eaten right out of the jar!
Forbes Wild Foods is a Canadian company that proudly supplies wild, hand-picked foods to restaurants; farmers markets; hotels; gift, food, and health stores; and to individual customers via our online store. All of our foods are sustainably harvested from the Canadian wilderness by trained, knowledgeable pickers. Our suppliers practice progressive harvesting methods -- ones that are both sustainable for its neighbouring plant species and surrounding ecosystem; and for the pickers themselves, whose livelihood is supported by a thriving source of wild foods.
Our specialized pickers (consisting of Indigenous people, women, youth, retirees, farmers, and professional foragers) are usually residents of rural or remote communities who respect the lands that support them. Only those wild foods that grow in great abundance and whose survival is not in danger are considered for harvest. Forbes Wild Foods also works with regional and northern wild food producers to help propagate rare wild food plants by reintroducing them to lands that need remedial attention, such as overgrazed woodlots and pastures.
