Blueberry Season

My family loves to visit U-pick farms in Southern Indiana!  Bryant's Blueberries is probably our favorite.  Sign-up to receive their e-mail to know when the picking times are as they are only open 1-2 times per week during most of June and early July.

Blueberries are an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin C, and other antioxidants.  They also contain iron, trace minerals, and one cup contains 1 gram of protein.

We pick as many blueberries as we can each season.  We eat them, bake with them, and freeze them.




Storage tips-  

  • Do not wash before storing or freezing.
  • Regridgerate as soon as possible after picking.
  • Freeze in 1-2 cup portions in plastic freezer bags for future use
  • Rinse frozen berries in cool water before use.
