Finding where to buy saskatoons or juneberries is a huge challenge. In the United States, the following will be your best bets for where to find them.
During late June and July, see if you can find a juneberry u-pick farm in your area. There are a couple directories online like upickfarmlocator. Try doing a Google search for the name of your state with the word upick or you pick. Your best luck for finding a u-pick farm will be in the lower peninsula of Michigan, upstate New York, Pennsylvania, and North Dakota. In the Detroit area South Lyon there is Erwin Orchards, but there are a number in the northern part of the state.
We took a trip there to see this place for ourselves. This was on June 29th, the first day the Saskatoon Berry Institute of North America announced them being ripe for picking in the area. Too lazy to drive all the way there, we drove here instead. If we waited another week, it would have been a lot easier. That one dark purple berry you see in this clump is ripe. The pink berries still have a week to go. After nearly 40 minutes of two people picking fervently, this was the reward to reap… just two quarts which is hardly impressive.
At peak season in mid-July, you could probably do this at twice the speed. Where can I buy juneberries? Not at the grocery store. Or at least, we have never came across them at a Whole Foods, Sprouts, or even natural co-op market. Along the picturesque M highway in the town of Glen Arbor, we stumbled upon these at a farmers market during the last week of July. They were actually overripe, as evidenced by their dark color and shriveling, but they were delicious nonetheless. Finding them at a farmers market is even more of a wild-goose chase, since not many vendors at those places promote themselves online.
We have only been able to find proof of them being sold at a couple dozen! In short, do some Googling before driving all over the place. For the other eleven, buying them frozen will be the only way to enjoy them raw and unprocessed. As shown above, during summer months we have seen the frozen juneberries for sale at farmers markets. Though never at a grocery store of any kind.

Many would describe the taste of Saskatoon Berry as having a sweet, nutty almond flavour. They are also high in Fiber, Protein and Antioxidants. Berries ripen in late June or early July. They are also available throughout the year when frozen. They grow in many conditions, from sea level to mountain peaks, and are less picky about soils conditions than blueberries. Serviceberry shrubs can reach a height of seven metres and can spread to ten metres. The riper they are, the softer, darker, and more flavourful.
Inside are a few tiny seeds, that when crunched, release a delightful marzipan flavour. Serviceberries or Saskatoons are perfect for jams, compotes, pancakes, fruit salads — really anywhere that suits blueberries or cherries. This easy recipe calls for lemon-infused olive oil; do choose one wisely. Some lemon-flavoured oils taste like citronella chemical, unnatural , but there are a few brands out there that stand apart for their true, clean, and pure lemony taste.
Nudo is a good one, but use your favourite, naturally-flavoured brand. Preheat the oven to F degrees and keep a baking sheet or oven-proof dish at the ready for keeping the pancakes warm.
In a bowl, combine flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt. In a small bowl, beat the egg well, then add milk and oil and combine thoroughly.
