Whether you’re from Maine or enjoying a Maine getaway, mark your calendar for this (wild) new Maine tradition. Tour wild blueberry farms, pick (and nibble) wild blueberries at select locations, try a new-to-you wild blueberry dish or drink.
Wild Blueberry Weekend is happening this summer in Maine (rain or shine)—how wild you get is totally up to you. Be sure to map out your adventure here.
At the University of Maine’s Blueberry Hill Research Farm activities will be offered during Wild Blueberry Weekend. Researchers and students will be on site leading tours and sharing insights they’ve gained from studying blueberries. Learn about how wild blueberries are grown and harvested, and see research projects related to climate change, nutrition, water retention, and pest management that are currently being conducted on the farm.
Tours and a poster session will be held from 10am until 2pm.
