Saskatoon berries
I'm looking for saskatoon berries in Ottawa. I haven't had much luck with Google. Does anyone know of any place that sells them? I'd prefer pre-picked, but I'd be ok with pick-your-own.

Weird. I got the desire to find some just this weekend. Also had no luck with Google, aside from a gift basket place in Byward Market that may have them (just jams and such, and maybe not individually).
You'd think there would be at least one place that sells Saskatoon Berry juice. Even if it's just a health food store that treats them like Acai and other "superberries".

I was in Winnipeg last week, and they were plentiful there, hence my craving now that I'm back in Ottawa. A few years ago I found an energy drink that was saskatoon berry flavor - Beaver Buzz. It was tastey, but I'm still eager for actual berries.

If you can wait a month, Im driving from Saskatoon to Ottawa at the end of August and could bring some back with me.

There are plenty in Ottawa but the season is over. Serviceberry trees (amelanchier canadensis) are planted extensivly in Ottawa and Amelanchier alnifolia shrubs are pretty widespread. I got some wierd looks eating saskatoon berries off of street trees on Preston

PH I have a tree right beside my office that I snack on occasionally, but i was only able to find 2 acceptable berries today. It seems your just a couple of days, maybe a week too late.
I haven't gone out to it much this year. That's disappointing.

Pie form would be almost acceptable. Thanks, I'll check it out.
