Dago Seaberry & Astelpaju Eksport TÜ
Dago Seaberry is a premium brand from Estonia, dedicated to producing high-quality sea buckthorn berries. Grown in a pristine, unspoiled environment, our berries are full of natural goodness.

30 Years of Experience
Our family's relationship with this plant began back in 1994 when the first hectares were planted. Today, the family business has expanded to over 900ha of plantations - biggest in Estonia and Europe.
This photo represents a historic milestone — the ripening of our very first harvest. More than just the result of years of hard work and vision, it symbolizes our love for this remarkable plant and the natural world. This moment also marked the beginning of a long-term commitment that continues to guide us today.

Our IQF Organic Seaberries
Guaranteed Freshness from Field to Freezer
Our berries are taken to the cold storage plant for processing on the day of harvesting, assuring the ultimate freshness of the product. Berries are frozen by IQF, then go through initial removal of large branches and leaves.
Semi-cleaned berries are then sent to electronic sorting (Sortex Niagara/Sortex Buhler). The processing plant meets the ISO2200:2005 standards and has the certificate for processing and storage of organic berries.
Hiiumaa - the 'Day' Island
Our main plantations are located on the island of Hiiumaa, Estonia. All our berries are grown in an ecologically unpolluted natural park territory away from big cities and roads. Hiiumaa island is historically known as Dagö in Swedish, Dagden in German, and Dagø in Danish. Hiiumaa is characterized by almost 300 kilometers of twisting coastline, unspoiled beaches, clear sea air, fragrant forests, and one of the oldest still-in-use lighthouses in the world. Hiiumaa is also recognized as part of UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere Programme (MAB) for its unique natural landscapes, rich biodiversity, and commitment to sustainable development.
The Power of Nature in Every Berry
Our sea buckthorn berries thrive in Hiiumaa’s environment. Grown in mineral-rich soil and nourished by clean water and fresh air, our berries develop a superior concentration of vitamins, antioxidants, and omega fatty acids. The Northern climate enhances their nutrient density, while our sustainable, chemical-free farming ensures purity from root to fruit.

Our longest sea buckthorn field on the island of Hiiumaa, spanning over 2 kilometers, began in 2016 and has blossomed into a thriving fruit-bearing plantation today. This achievement showcases our dedication to sustainable agriculture and environmental stewardship. Through careful cultivation, the sea buckthorn bushes have matured, carrying a bountiful harvest of nutritious berries for many years to come.
