It’s Almost Blueberry Time!
Our blueberries have been quietly waiting for their debut through the dormant winter season, the spring with it’s sporadically frosty nights, and now we are nearing the beginning of summer, and that means we are almost to our blueberry’s favorite time of year.
We’ve enjoyed our Saturday mornings at Depot Street Farmer’s Market, and we’re so looking forward to the days when we can bring flats of pints, loaded with the bluest berries that taste like bursts of summer. Each weekend we have returning customers ask, “When will the blueberries be here??”, so much so, that we even have a sign at our vendor booth answering that very question.
That got us thinking that our next blog post should have a few Q&A’s to keep our readers informed, and our customers updated so everyone is clued-in for the berry season!
