Say so long to strawberry season and hello to blueberry season. Soon enough, all of the region’s pick-your-own fields will be covered with plump, juicy blueberries, which are harvested between mid-June through July. Whether you’re looking to make a sweet treat or just can’t wait to dig into a handful of ripe berries, here’s where you can pick blueberries this summer.
