Play Radio Interview with Beth
Beth says she is very happy with the results and "have been quite successful so far".  Sea Buckthorn continues to be a trending food rich in Omega 3, Omega 7, vitamin C and 190 bioactive componants. Beth and her partner make juice, wine, chocolate covered candies and salsa.  They are also exploring the benefits of the leaves or "chaff".  (see leaf analysis)
Beth and Clay offer workshops at the orchard on how to use Sea Buckthorn.  The workshops are held at the orchard on their farm and their seaberries are available at a couple of local food stores in Frederiction, NB.
