Honeyberries are similar to, but not related to blueberries, but they are oblong berries that are blue! They are actually related to honeysuckle,(Lonicera caerulea) and go by other names.
Honeyberries are native to cool temperate Northern Hemisphere areas such as Alaska, the northern Midwestern states, Canada, Japan, Russia, and Poland. Of course, they may also be grown in similar climates to which they are not native. They are very cold-hardy and can survive temperatures down to -55 degrees Fahrenheit (-48 C.).
You can get your own honeyberry / haskap plants to grow in your yard here.
To find farms with Honeyberries (also called Haskaps!) see below:
Honeyberries are ripe in the early Spring, far ahead of blueberries and Saskatoons. Keep in mind, the actual ripening dates and even the order can vary considerably from farm to farm, year to year, state to state; so take this as general order!
Being similar in many ways to blueberries, most blueberry recipes work well with Honeyberries.
