Lots and lots of blueberries!

It's a pretty common occurrence around the farm to get some dirt under our fingernails, but we know it's late July when our fingers start looking a little blue.  And yep, you guessed it, the blueberry harvest is coming in fast and heavy, and there are a lot of blue fingers around Miller's Orchards these days!

Thanks to the hot humid weather the Northeast PA region endured the past several weeks, the blueberry bushes have producing an extraordinary harvest.  Momma and Amber (and, of course, lil Lena Mae) have been picking as fast as their little fingers can go, and there're still more berries ripening every afternoon in the hot sunshine!  The bakery has been churning out the area's tastiest blueberry pies, and there are STILL lots of blueberries left over!

So what do a bunch of farmers do when they've got a fabulous blueberry harvest?  Why, host a Blueberry Festival, of course!  That's right--on Saturday August 6th from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., stop by the Farm for a celebration of Blueberries!  There will be Blueberry picking (if you want to take some home, you can pay by the pound in the Farm Market), Blueberry-themed goodies for sale to eat-in or take home, and even two Farm Tours (at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.)  Admission to the Farm is free--so take advantage of a chance to meet the family, pick some blueberries, eat some yumminess, and visit with the pigs, chickens, pumpkins, and orchards. 

We can't wait to celebrate one of the world's few naturally blue foods with you!  Don't miss out on the fun!

From the bottom of my blueberry-stained heart, I remain,
