A new and little-known berry is gaining recognition for its health value as production grows in northwestern New Brunswick. The haskap berry — which looks like a long blueberry — is packed with antioxidants and grows on more than 50 acres (about 20 hectares) of fields in the Haut-Madawaska region. It was first planted in the area five years ago by the Coopérative forestière du Nord-Ouest, a local co-operative of farmers and foresters.
