Here’s an interesting story about how Maine blueberry producers are using the wild blueberries they harvest to create a new product–blueberry wine. I was interested to read that wild blueberries are not like the commercial blueberries we grow in the Southeast because they are truly wild and are not planted like commercial blueberry plants but are harvested from bushes that grow there naturally. Competition from Canadian blueberries is cutting into the profits of the Maine producers, so they are looking for new products to make that will bring in additional profits, and blueberry wine is one of those products that shows promise.
