We offer fresh and frozen huckleberries throughout the season.
From the forest floor to your plate®
Every year, when huckleberry season arrives, we head into the mountains of British Columbia in search of one of the wildest and most rewarding berries our forests have to offer.
Huckleberry picking isn't something you can rush.
It means spending long days out on the land, walking through the forest and mountain slopes, searching for patches of ripe berries. Sometimes you find them quickly. Other times, you can hike for hours before coming across a good patch.
And when you do find them, the work begins.
One berry at a time.
A Harvest From the Wild
Unlike berries grown on a farm, wild huckleberries grow naturally throughout the forests and mountains of British Columbia. Every season is different. Weather, rainfall, temperature and the conditions on the land all influence how the berries grow.
That's part of what makes wild harvesting so special.
We never know exactly what the season will bring.
Some years the berries are plentiful. Other years, finding a good harvest takes much more time and effort.
When we're out picking, we're not just collecting berries. We're spending time on the land, learning where the berries grow, watching the conditions and appreciating everything the forest provides.
Bringing the Harvest Home
After a long day of picking, the berries come home and the next part of the work begins.
The berries are carefully sorted and prepared so we can turn the harvest into products that can be enjoyed throughout the year.
Some of our berries are kept fresh, allowing customers, friends and family to enjoy them during the short huckleberry season.
Some are frozen, giving you the opportunity to enjoy wild huckleberries months after the harvest is finished.
And some are transformed into our Wild Huckleberry Jam, bringing that unmistakable sweet and slightly tart flavor to toast, bannock, pancakes, baking and desserts.
We also freeze-dry our huckleberries, preserving the berries in a lightweight, crunchy form that makes a great snack and allows the flavor of the harvest to be enjoyed long after the berries have disappeared from the bushes.
More Than Just a Berry
For us, huckleberries represent much more than a product.
They represent time spent outdoors.
They represent the patience required to harvest something one berry at a time.
They represent the connection between people, food and the land.
And they remind us that some of the best foods don't need to be cultivated in a field. Sometimes they're already growing in the forests around us, waiting for the right season and the right person to find them.
From Our Family to Yours
Peace Valley Foragers began with a love of wild foods and a desire to share what we find with others.
When you purchase our huckleberries, jam or freeze-dried berries, you're not simply buying a jar or a bag of berries.
You're getting a small piece of the harvest.
You're getting the result of hours spent in the mountains, searching, picking, sorting and preparing.
Most importantly, you're getting something that comes from the wild landscapes of British Columbia
High in the mountain air, where the wildflowers bloom and the bears roam, my son and I spend our summer days gathering huckleberries. It’s slow, peaceful work — and every berry we pick carries a memory of laughter, sunshine, and the quiet beauty of the wilderness.
Our Wild Huckleberry Jam is made in small batches from those same mountain berries, simmered gently with pure ingredients to preserve their bright, tangy sweetness. Each jar is a reflection of the land we love and the moments we’ve shared while foraging together.
Spread it on toast, biscuits, or pancakes, and taste the mountains — wild, pure, and full of heart.
Handpicked in the wild. Crafted with care. Shared from our family to yours.

Taste the Wild, One Spoonful at a Time 💜
Handcrafted in small batches, our Huckleberry Jam captures the sweet-tart magic of wild northern berries — picked by hand and simmered slow for that cozy, homemade flavor. Spread it on toast, swirl it into yogurt, or enjoy it straight from the jar (we won’t tell 😉).

The process of cleaning Huckleberries and Blueberries
Once the berries have been picked, they need to be cleaned immediately. This involves running the fresh berries down ramps with strong fans blowing upwards below the ramp to blow away most of the leaves that have been acquired from walking in dense bush all day. Then most stems and ghost berries (green berries) need to be removed. During the huckleberry and blueberry season, half our days are spent harvesting, and the other half is spent cleaning the berries. It’s a slow process.
