u pick Michigan blueberries

These are the all-time best blueberries ever! Too bad we don't live in Michigan to pick them throughout the season . . .

I was surprised to learn that blueberries are native to North America -- but now grow throughout the world.

We picked quite a few pounds of blueberries at Earls Farm Market in Fennville, Michigan.
Earls Farm was easy to find, not too far from the highway. The farm is beautifully maintained. Berries ready for picking are easily reached. The whole u pick experience was very well-coordinated and satisfying. Pricing for the berries we picked was reasonable, measured on a scale by the pound.

Also impressive is how easily the blueberries were to transport. We picked them on day 1 and refrigerated them days 2 and 3. Then transported them home day 4. The blueberries arrived in good shape. We are freezing some, eating others fresh, and baking a blueberry pie.

The Blueberry People TM is a producer owned blueberry cooperative that started in 1936 in Michigan. Today they represent over 300 growers in multiple US states, and British Columbia with total sales in excess of $130 million.

The Blueberry People TM market their members' entire fresh blueberry production under the label Naturipe Farms. Naturipe Farms has two equal partners: Chilean associate Hortifruit, SA and Naturipe Berry Growers Cooperative in Watsonville, CA. Naturipe Farms is the marketing arm of all three groups and aims to provide the produce trade with a supply of fresh berries 365 days a year.
