Overview

Bakeapple Picking

August in Battle Harbour heralds the arrival of a cherished tradition: bakeapple picking. Join us as we venture into nature's bounty and fill our buckets with these delectable treasures.

Nature's Bounty
As summer reaches its peak, the landscape of Battle Harbour comes alive with the vibrant hues of ripe bakeapples. These golden gems, also known as cloudberries, dot the landscape, nestled amidst the lush greenery of the coastal terrain. With their sweet yet tangy flavor, bakeapples are a beloved delicacy that captures the essence of the season.

An Adventure Awaits
Don your sunhat and gather your baskets as we embark on a culinary adventure unlike any other. Armed with buckets in hand, we traverse the rugged terrain in search of the perfect patch of bakeapples. Along the way, we breathe in the crisp sea air and marvel at the panoramic views that surround us, savoring every moment of our journey.

Harvesting Memories
As we pluck each bakeapple from its vine, we are not just gathering fruit; we are harvesting memories that will last a lifetime. The act of picking bakeapples becomes a shared experience, a moment of connection with nature and with each other. Laughter fills the air as we compete to find the biggest and juiciest berries, each one a small victory in our quest for culinary delight.

Taste the Sweetness
After a fruitful day of picking, we return to the comforts of Battle Harbour, our buckets brimming with nature's bounty. Back in the kitchen, we transform our harvest into mouthwatering treats – from jams and jellies to pies and preserves. With each bite, we taste the sweetness of summer, a reminder of the simple joys that nature provides.

A Tradition Worth Savoring
Bakeapple picking in August is more than just a seasonal activity; it is a cherished tradition that brings us closer to the land and to each other. It is a celebration of abundance and a testament to the resilience of nature in the face of changing seasons. So come, join us in the time-honored tradition of bakeapple picking, and let's savor the sweetness of summer together.
