Blueberry Picking in Eastern Minnesota
We went blueberry picking! About 25 minutes from Minneapolis, there's an idyllic looking town called Stillwater and the Blueberry Fields of Stillwater - a u-pick blueberry farm. It was started by a lovely couple and their children 12 years ago, and they grow seven types of berries (many of which I was able to sample - it was like a wine tasting for me - absolutely fabulous).
The blueberries we picked varied in size and were packed with flavor - the smaller ones were actually my favorite. Lots of love has gone in to growing them. Are you going berry picking this summer?
I love using fresh blueberries in my recipes. Here are a few recipes I recommend:
