Known by many names . . . juneberry, serviceberry, saskatoon, shadbush, Amelenchier. . .this fruit has been eaten in North America for thousands of years. . . but have you ever tasted one?

Come out on June 21st to try over 10 different varieties of these delicious, easy to grow, native fruits! Educators from Savanna Institute and Farmers Rising‘s CRAFT (Collaborative Regional Alliance for Farmer Training) will teach participants how to grow and sell juneberries while we sample the berries right off the bushes!

Across the Midwest, farmers are planting native fruit and nut species to restore and revitalize the land. In 2015, Scott and Sandy Williams incorporated native trees on their family farm to protect the soil, clean the water and provide a sustainable food source–thus began Fields Restored.
