I am very thankful for the wild blueberries that grow on my farm. I
find that picking them is hard on my back but the flavor from wild
blueberries beats the domestic ones 10 to 1. Lately I've had to watch
for bears so won't pick alone and usually leave the car radio going
full blast to deter them. Never used to have that problem before but
don't want to fight them for food or territory if I can help it.
