2024 Update

With all the rain and warm weather we have experienced this spring/summer the currant harvest appears to be a super crop for 2024. Harvest will begin July 6, which is the earliest in 22 years. The boys and myself will harvest steadily for a couple of weeks and get the crop off and frozen as quickly as we can. From there I will de-stem and prepare both the 2 Kg and 20 lb(9 Kg) pails for sale here at the farm.

Currants will be available anytime after July 26. We operate as self-serve at the farm so everyone comes whenever they want and help themselves to frozen fruit, jam and new this year our Black Currant Cordial – a concentrated black currant syrup- which can be added to many recipes and drinks or just diluted with water and ice on a hot afternoon.

I always have plenty of 2 Kg pails available at the farm but it is best to text, call or email for the larger 20 lb pail and I will reserve it for you with your name on it.

Unfortunately we do not have debit at the farm. We gladly accept cash, cheque or e-transfers (foxmoor.blake@gmail.com).


About Us

We are a small family farm nestled along the shores of Lake Erie in Norfolk County, Ontario. We specialize in producing black currants, as well as our own line of black currant jam and cordial.

Black currants (Ribes nigrum) have been grown for their fruit since the 16th century in France. The variety planted on our farm is Titania. It is a Polish variety that has excellent size, colour and flavour. The black currant has been praised for its medicinal properties, as well as they’re very delicious and distinctive taste. Currants are highly regarded for their nutraceutical properties. They are 5 times higher in Vitamin C content than oranges and contain up to 3 times as much potassium as any other fruit. Currants also boast nearly 40 types of bioflavonoids. Consumption of black currant has shown to benefit the heart and circulatory system, kidney function, liver function and the digestive system as well.
