Black currants (Ribes nigrum) have been grown for their fruit since the 16 th century in France. The black currant has been praised for its medicinal properties.

A very delicious, distinctive taste. Currants are highly touted for neutraceutical properties. They are 5 times higher in Vitamin C content than oranges! 2 to 3 times as much potassium as other fruit and 30 - 40 types of bioflavinoids. Consumption of black currant has shown to benefit the heart and circulatory system, kidney function, liver function and the digestive system.... And they still taste great!

The variety planted on our farm is Titania. It is a Polish variety that has excellent size, colour and flavour.

We currently have 9 acres cultivated and will continue to increase production.

Plans for 2009 include a small trial batch of Gooseberry Jam, and Black Currant Juice.
