Title
Ruby Red Farms - Certified Organic Blueberries - Victoria BC
Description
Ruby Red Farms is a certified organic grower of blueberries. The farm is family owned and operated by Ruby, Ivan, Robert, Kira, Nina and many extended family members who have made great contributions to starting our farm.
Ruby Red Farms grew from Ruby's and Ivan's deep desire to grow healthy foods based on organic principles of sustainable farming. After many years of research, the perfect location was found and purchased in 1999. A beautiful 20 acre property located on the Saanich Peninsula of Southern Vancouver Island was chosen for the farm. Located in Deep Cove in North Saanich, much of the land had been cleared by an early settler almost 100 years ago and left fallow. During that time, the land built up incredibly rich and fertile soil creating ideal conditions for our organic blueberry farm. The land features a natural thick buffer of trees and brush sheltering the farm land from other properties. Fortunately, there is no intense conventional farm activity near the farm. In fact, one neighbour grows beneficial insects such as ladybugs for sale to other farmers. Some of the "escapees" come to our blueberry bushes to hunt aphids.
Today the farm has almost 12,000 blueberry bushes. Two varieties are grown on the farm, Duke and Reka. Both varieties are excellent medium to large berries eaten fresh or frozen for later use. These two varieties have long shelf life, taste great, are excellent for freezing and ideal for eating fresh, baking, or making sauces and jam.
