This week’s Veggie Unearthed: Blueberries
Your blueberries came to us from Harrietts Bluff Farm in Woodbine, Georgia – less than 50 miles from most of our customers’ homes.
This week’s Veggie Unearthed is among the most exciting of our produce offerings. These delicious organic blueberries are brought to us by a true artisan expert. Harriet’s Bluff is owned and operated by Gerard Krewer, a blueberry specialist known worldwide. The farm is dedicated to growing blueberries organically. Multiple varieties are grown with the goal in mind of providing the best and tastiest varieties over the season.
Blueberries often top the “superfood” lists, as they are full of antioxidants, vitamins and general berrylicious goodness. They are highly perishable, so be sure to gobble them up as soon as possible, but if you keep them unwashed in the container stored in your fridge, they could last up to a week.
Blueberries freeze well and make terrific preserves, so if you’d like to order a flat of them, they are $36 – order by Monday evening by emailing us at info@theveggiebin.com. Note that most blueberry recipes do require more than a pint of blueberries.
Here’s a great video about how to freeze blueberries.
