Blueberries are ready!
Over 200 million pounds of blueberries are grown every year in North America. Michigan and New Jersey produce 66% of all the blueberries in the United States, followed by North Carolina, Oregon and Washington. (2010)
Did you know…..that early American colonists made grey paint by boiling blueberries in milk.
The blue paint used to paint woodwork in Shaker houses was made from sage blossoms, indigo and blueberry skins, mixed in milk.
The Blueberry is the official state fruit of what state? North Carolina, Maine and New Jersey all claim them!
