The berries are raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and blackcurrants. The raspberries commercialized by our group come from the major genetic improvement program promoted by Plant Sciences: they are exclusive varieties called Grandeur and Radiance.

RK Growers is in fact licensee of the new varieties of SEKOYA™ blueberries.
