About Our Fruit Market
CanWest Farms is the hard work and passion of the Kallu family, who have been farming since 1979. In the 80s, Sukhbir Kallu harvested many fruits and vegetables, including strawberries, broccoli and sprouts. As his five children grew up, during the 90s, the Kallu family modified its fruit market to specialize solely in cultivating and packaging blueberries. The Kallu kids revelled in learning from their father, and grew up helping on the farm during summer vacations. With the shorter berry season, Sukhbir Kallu delightedly had more time to spend with his children, and was thrilled to teach them the family business.
Today, our fruit market successfully acquires the business of top local and international brokers, food retailers, and restaurants, supplying them with quality fruit. CanWest Farms has also expanded internationally, and to keep up with this demand it employs both traditional hand, and mechanical harvesting. The company is committed to growing, harvesting, and packaging a quality product on its 100 arced farms, and offers reputable customer service to all—from locals who buy local at neighbourhood farmer’s markets, and CanWest’s own Farmers Market, to local restaurants, retailers, and companies who purchase to distribute.
Come and Visit Our Farm!
We are not only growers and harvesters of blueberries, we also package the berries for any type of distribution—from varied retail-sized boxes for individual in-store purchases, larger crates and containers for delivery to stores and retailers, to large-scale exporting. We package our fruit conscientiously and carefully, keeping our “Best of the Blues” blueberry bundles in their best shape, and at their peak.
CanWest blueberries are available at various markets throughout the Metro Vancouver area. Or you can come visit our farm and get the fruit straight off the plant!
