For over 2 generations this family farm in Downeas

For over 2 generations this family farm in Downeast has been growing & selling organic wild Maine Blueberries.
100’s of workers arrive at the barrens every spring in a seasons-long ritual dating back hundreds of years. The berries are wild, yet the management is intense, pruning & burning, weeding and pollinating.

One of America’s oldest indigenous crops, wild b

One of America’s oldest indigenous crops, wild blueberries have grown on US soil for over 13,000 years. They can form large natural blueberry barrens containing nothing but lowbush blueberries. Since wild blueberries can’t easily be grown from seed, you’re not likely to find a fresh carton at the grocery store, unless you’re in Maine.

Attention Blueberry Lovers! You can now pre-order 5-pound boxes of organic low bush Blueberries from Blue Barrens Farm. The 4 pick-up dates are every Tuesday from July 30th until August 20th. Find out more at www.belfast.coop/blueberries-2024.

"Maine's Open Farm Day is a statewide event started by Maine farmers and supporters in 1989. For more than 30 years, this premier agritourism event has been a way to raise awareness about farms and their importance to Maine. It is an opportunity to connect visitors to Maine farms so they may learn and see firsthand the care and effort to produce quality Maine farm products and ingredients year-round. Each site is different and offers visitors a chance to meet farmers and learn more about the role of farms across Maine."

There are multiple varieties of blueberry plants growing naturally in the barrens at @bluebarrens. They all flower at different times, requiring a steady visit of pollinators to create the berries. Italian honey bees from myriad hives in scores of bee yards throughout the barrens join native pollinators to visit each blossom & contribute to a bountiful harvest.
