The string of disappointing blueberry seasons of the last few years has finally been broken.

8/13/07 – The string of disappointing blueberry seasons of the last few years has finally been broken. This summer, blueberries ripened along every road and hillside. It was the kind of overwhelming abundance that almost makes you crazy. You try to go out picking for an hour and end up staying out for four without even knowing it.
Sawbill caught this blueberry fever in a big way and as a result our freezers are now overflowing with frozen blueberries. The champion picker was Katie who closed the season with an unbelievable 115 cups (about 25 lbs) of blueberries! Anyone driving up the Sawbill trail over the last few weeks was sure to pass about a dozen people in the ditches along the way hunched intently over the bushes. And all the hard work will be even more worth it when we get to pull a blueberry pie out of the oven in January. – Caitlin
