Haskap Canada: Meet Dave Negrych

Meet Dave Negrych. He lives a half hour north of Roblin, Manitoba.

Dave has a plantation of EBH cultivars from the U of S, which means he is a part of a university-sponsored cooperative project that is evaluating a wide selection of plants, some of which may have beneficial characteristics as haskap-hopefuls in the future. Of course he gets to taste the fruit from these plants in addition to various varieties of honeyberries and haskap that he also has planted in his garden over the years.

Dave has spoken at field days in the area on behalf of Haskap Canada and is always open to answering inquiries about haskap.

He currently serves on Haskap Canada's board of directors.
