BDN reports on new UMaine wild blueberry research field gifted from Wyman’s
The Bangor Daily News reported on the University of Maine’s new Wyman’s Wild Blueberry Research and Innovation Center, a three-acre research and education site that will be established off University Farm Road in Old Town over the coming year through a gift from Wyman’s Blueberries to the University of Maine Foundation. Wyman’s, which harvests and processes fruit throughout Down East and Midcoast Maine, is the number one brand of frozen fruit in the nation and distributes wild blueberries globally. The center’s new wild blueberry research field site will be unlike any other in the world, with plots controlled for genotype, akin to research traditionally conducted in orchards or row crops.
