Rubicon Farms is a Pick your Own Blueberry Farm in Eastern Ontario, just north of the village of Avonmore. We grow five varieties of Highbush blueberries (vaccinium corymbosum) on a two acre planting.
We have started growing black raspberries, red raspberries and haskaps (honeyberries).
We follow organic practices.
Great News! We sold the Farm! Please check our Blog for announcements.
