July is a favorite time here on the farm. One of our favorite crops is blueberries & they are ripe for picking about mid-July. Blueberries are high in antioxidants, as well as vitamin C, so they’re a healthy, fresh snack when you’re on the go. They are quite plentiful mid-summer and easy to use for baking, preserving or eating fresh. If you’re a blueberry fan like us, you will enjoy these sweet treats from the farm.
