Scenes from Maine’s 6th annual Wild Blueberry Weekend
For the last six years, dozens of farms have hosted visitors for pick-your-own experiences, farm tours, demonstrations and other blueberry-centric activities on Wild Blueberry Weekend.
“It’s a way to kind of get people out to visit the blueberry farms, and a lot of people don’t realize that some of these farms exist and they’re a place that you can actually go visit,” said Lori Jones of Tavern Hill Farm.
