Fun Tips About Blueberries…

  • Blueberries are the second most popular berry in the United States.
  • Michigan and New Jersey produce 66% of all the blueberries in the United States, followed by North Carolina, Oregon and Washington.  
  • Over 200 million pounds of blueberries are grown every year in North America.
  • Blueberries are first picked by hand to gather the best of the early fruit. Later, if the fruit is to be mechanically harvested, a harvesting machine goes through the field and gently shakes each bush so only the ripe blueberries drop off.
