Maine’s nutritious, delicious, and iconic wild blueberry will be the focus of the 1st Annual Maine Wild Blueberry Weekend, which will open farms across the state on Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 7-8. Governor Janet Mills last week issued a formal proclamation declaring the event.

“I encourage all people to recognize the vital contributions made by the state’s wild blueberry growers and businesses to our economy, and to participate in activities that celebrate and honor the wild Maine blueberry,” wrote Mills.
