Where this finest Wild Blueberry is coming from ?
Since 1960, Van Dyk’s has harvested the finest wild blueberries from Nova Scotia in Canada. Van Dyk’s products are exactly as they should be - 100% pure, with Nova Scotia wild blueberries as the only ingredient.
Why Wild Blueberry from Van Dyk ?
Not all blueberry juices are created equal. Van Dyk’s is just one ingredient — Nova Scotia-grown, Canada Grade A, lowbush Wild Blueberries. No water. No sugar. No preservatives.
Many other juices are made from concentrate or from a blend of less expensive juices and lesser-quality fruit. In Canada, nutrition label ingredients are listed in decreasing order or volume, so if you see a label with blueberry “from concentrate” as the fourth or fifth item, there is very little blueberry in the product.
Be sure to check for Vitamin C content. Products made from fruit must be pasteurized to kill naturally occurring bacteria and yeast in order to make the product safe and shelf stable. The most common form of pasteurization, using heat, will greatly reduce and usually completely eliminate Vitamin C content. If you read a juice nutrition label that indicates the presence of Vitamin C, it’s usually been added after pasteurization or the manufacturer is presenting a misleading nutrition label.
The labels on Van Dyk’s 100% Pure Wild Blueberry Juice represent the content of our actual juice, as determined by an independent government-certified testing facility. It’s no wonder Van Dyk’s won the prestigious “Best New Juice” award at the World Juice Congress.

Our Farming Philosophy
We’re proud nurturers of nature. That means letting the berries do the hard work — we just help out where we can. All year long, we’re in the fields—inspecting dormant shoots, looking for emerging fruit or vegetative buds and keeping an eye on the soil.
But we’re never alone out there. Each year when the wild blooms begin to emerge, we enlist the help of thousands of honeybees to join the local insects to pollinate every blossom in our wild blueberry patches. In return for helping us nurture each little bloom, each year the bees get to sample the product before anyone else.
The biggest thing we do to nurture our berries? Every second year we let them rest. A vacation from growing fruit means time for the wild blueberry plant to invest in itself. It’s an important part of the process that makes our plants stronger and our berries healthier. It’s also one of our secrets to getting a once sparse patch of wild blueberries to fill an entire field. That, and plenty of patience.
