Blueberries

We've been up there several times and at the end of last week some were actually ripe but most were still green. I was surprised to see the ripe ones so early. Surely not enough yet to make a pie.

with the rain we've had this year they're coming in early.
Mountain tops are loaded in a lot of areas- stick to places with designated trails like Major if you don't know your way around though.

Bumper Blueberry Crop Reported....see LINK

Quote:

Blueberry season has arrived in the region a little earlier this summer, thanks to a perfect combination of rain and hot weather.

Even some longtime blueberry growers are somewhat surprised at how ripe and bountiful this year's blueberry crop is turning out to be.

"It is a good crop. We're usually one of the earliest as far as blueberries go," said Anne Lake, owner of Berrybogg Farm in Strafford. "For us, it's pretty much right on time."

We went to Stonybrook Farm, 128 Glidden Rd. in Gilford today. (off 11A a couple of miles after the entrance to Gunstock)

Great High Bush Blueberries. $2.25 per pint. Big and Juicy.

Nice spot and a place to remember when apple season comes around.

Blueberries seem to be early this year at our camp. We picked 3 quarts last weekend and still have more to go. There are also still many green ones. Looks like it will definitely be a bumper crop! Bring on the pancakes, buckle and pies!!
