National Blueberry Month is an annual observation during the entire month of July. The National American Blueberry Council founded National Blueberry Month, which was officially recognized by the United States Department of Agriculture in 2003.
This once-wild berry became domesticated during the early 1900’s thanks to the observations of Elizabeth Coleman White and the research of Dr. Frederick V. Coville. Before their efforts, wild blueberries were never successfully transplanted and raised in any farming operation for personal or commercial production. The only way to enjoy fresh blueberries was to seek them out where they grew naturally.
Through the efforts of White and Coville, producers and private gardeners today bring to fruition these amazingly delicious berries. Whether from farm to table or from the farmer to the grocer, these vibrant berries pack a punch in vitamins and health benefits.
Weston Nurseries stocks a variety of blueberry bushes. You can shop your local Weston Nurseries Garden Center, or have plants delivered to your door straight from the farm through WestonFarmToDoor™.com!
