Sep 18, 2011 The Berry Belt

When you think of Grand Falls-Windsor do luscious, nutritious berries come to mind? Maybe not, but there's a whole crop of farmers working hard to change that. They want central Newfoundland to become known as the berry belt of this province.

You'll meet a blueberry farmer, two aspiring cranberry farmers and a farmer who's growing a powerful berry you've likely never even heard of - sea buckthorn. You'll discover the health benefits of these tiny berries and gain an appreciation for the patience it takes to produce them.

Welcome to Land and Sea

For more than thirty years Land and Sea has brought you stories from people who live off the land and the sea. We cover issues that affect people in rural communities which ultimately affect those in cities as well.

We bring you stories from those who celebrate life living close to nature, who promote and protect their culture and traditional ways of doing things. There are stories of success and sometime failures that portray the unique way Atlantic Canadians deal with the challenges and pleasures of living on the east coast.

Join us Sundays at 12 noon on CBC Television.
