We ate these exquisite locally-grown blueberries all winter. I found them at the Whole Foods down the street. Grown in Washington County, Moon Hill Farm Organic Blueberries are the most heavenly berry I've ever bought from a freezer case. Juicy little packets bursting with the sugary tart taste of summer in Maine.
But then one day they were gone. Sold out for the season.
Which I guess isn't surprising considering the quantity I was buying them in. I add a cup to the steel cut oats I make each morning. And they're always a welcome addition to desserts, smoothies and pancakes.
Good thing July and blueberry season is right around the corner. Then I'll be able to pluck them straight from the low-bush blueberry patch at Sunshine Farm. Until then I have fond memories of Moon Hill to help me ward off the frozen blueberry blues.
I hear you... our blueberry season isn't till August, and we're out of the ones we froze, too. BUT.... strawberries will be ready in ten days! I'm counting down!
ReplyDeleteI HATE when foods I absolutely love get discontinued or disappear for no reason :o(
ReplyDeleteAnd it happens so often!
I cannot wait for blueberry season here (aug./sept), right now I am up to my elbows in strawberry & apricot jam...apricot pancakes? Why not!
ReplyDeleteI also recommend the blueberries from Stone Set Farm in Brooklin Maine- you can find them frozen through Crown of Maine and the Food Now Buying Club in Portland.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you're ever up in Blue Hill, there's a spot- i think called "allen's" that sells big 10# boxes of (non-organic) frozen blueberries. yumm. 10 pounds lasts a while . . . you need a big freezer though.
