JUST-A-MERE FARM

Just-A-Mere Organic Farm is nestled in the middle of the beautiful Creston Valley, British Columbia. Family-owned, our farm offers some of the best quality organic cherries in Canada. We have 14 acres of land currently producing cherries, apples, blueberries, plums, peaches, asparagus and walnuts, plus a two acre vegetable garden. The farm has a natural pond which allows access to excellent bio-dynamic pest control systems for the orchard blocks. In the summer and fall we operate a juice press and bottle our award-winning organic fruit juice blends for wholesale customers.

Who We Are

Just-A-Mere Organic Farm is owned and operated by Danny and Miranda Turner. Since 2011, we have been growing food under the principles of family farms, the value of organic certification, fair prices for farmers, healthy soil, sustainable food systems, and supporting local economics. Each year we welcome a diverse team of fruit pickers, sorters and labourers to help us bring some of the best organic fruit in Canada to our customers.

What We Grow

CHERRIES:

We sell three varieties of organic cherries, available in July: Rainier (blush), Skeena (red) and Lapin (red). Our cherries are as large as toonies.

Rainier cherries are candy sweet and delicate with a yellow colour and red blush. We have an entire block of Rainier cherry trees on our farm. Rainier cherries are highly sought after and considered a premium blush cherry to consumers.

Skeena cherries are a dark red to almost black variety with a lovely dense, firm texture and a well-balanced sweet-sharp flavour. We have a large block of Skeena cherry trees, ranging in age from 15 to 40 years old, some of the oldest on the farm.

Lapin cherries are a deep red, heart-shaped cherry with a mild, sweet flavour and firm texture. We have a small block of Lapin cherry trees on our farm, the last of our three varieties to mature each year.

BLUEBERRIES:

We have several thousand organic blueberry bushes. Available from early July to late September, we sell two varieties of Blueberries: Duke and Elliot. Both large and tangy-sweet varieties, the two blueberries have slightly different delicious flavours.
