We keep getting messages asking if we still have blueberries! I'm sure our guests from yesterday can attest, there are LOADS of fruit to pick! The Libertys are AMAZING right now. There is still strong picking in every variety! I believe someone picked nearly 30 pounds in the Blue Golds alone... The fruit set has been outstanding this year, and our plants are hanging strong, even in the heat.
It's looking like a very hot week. We've got ice water, shade, cold drinks, and beautiful picnic spots to chill out in, but make sure you bring a hat and some sunscreen. I'm sure no one is thinking of baking today, but what about some nice cold blueberry sorbet? Epicurious' Simply Blueberry Sorbet recipe looks easy and delicious. I would add some lemon zest, juice, and if you really want some zing, lemon extract to this. I'm a big fan of lemon and blueberry together.
I'm not doing a ton of baking or even making right now, but every day I make up a big bowl of granola and yogurt and walk out into the field to check things out. I toss blueberries into my bowl as I walk, and see what the varieties are up to. It's so interesting to see how they change over the picking cycle. I'm generally a Blue Gold gal, but recently, I've been all about the Libertys. The skins thicken a bit in the heat, and make them a bit toothier, and I really find it wonderful. The sugars condense and give them an even sweeter taste than the Legacys. Give them a try!
We think we'll have a week- maybe a week and a half- left in the field, so don't delay. Please feel free to check the Facebook feed, our Instagram or give us a call if you have questions.
See you on the farm!
