Home of Country Fresh Black Currant Jam
2025 Update
The current temperature today, July 5, is 31 degrees with an extreme heat warning for the next couple of days. On extreme hot days, black currants mature very quickly and it looks like we will be starting black currant harvest mid July and should have plenty or product available for self serve anytime after July 26. We will have both the 2 Kg smaller frozen pail of currants at $35.00 ea and the larger 9 Kg(20 lb) pail of frozen currants at $100.00 ea. It’s probably best to email, text or leave a message to pre-order the 9 Kg(20 lb) pail just to avoid disappointments. Text/cell number is 519 410-2837 and email is foxmoor.blake@gmail.com
Also available at the farm is our own Black Currant Jam for $8.00 ea (250 mL) or $75.00 per case (12×250 mL). Our Black Currant Cordial has been a huge success and will be available at the farm as well for $12.00 per bottle (350 mL) or &100.00 per case (12 x 250 mL). There are a number of different recipes using cordial on our recipe page but my personal recommendation is the Black Currant Mojito especially if you have access to fresh mint.
Unfortunately we do not have debit/credit at the self-serve and can only accept cash, cheques or e-transfer to foxmoor.blake@gmail.com. You can also shop online this year with shipping to Canada.
Thanks for all your support and business over the years.
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.
