Currently, an able-bodied picker can still get his or her fill, but it may take a little longer than it does on opening day. Walking through the field early in the morning, sampling as I go, I’m noticing that there are subtle changes in the flavor profile up and down the rows as well as from row to row. I don’t think I notice this as much when the bushes are really full, being so overwhelmed by the sheer abundance. As these Northern Highbush plants continue to wane, the Rabbiteye bushes are coming into sweeter fruition and we will send out the word that they are ready in the days to come.
Keep checking the message on the Blueberry Line to get in on the early picking of this variety. Their flavor is notably complex this year, with an initial burst of juicy familiar blueberry flavor, followed by a delayed second wave of subtle, signature sweetness. A rewarding delight for heat-tolerant seekers of these beauties — some are the biggest I’ve ever seen!
Oh — We’ve edited the driving directions on the map page to correct the google maps generated directions so that they make more logical sense and keep you off the old dirt county roads. Thanks for pointing that out, y’all! I’m gonna put up GPS coordinates as soon as I get a chance, too.
