Yikes. We’ve been getting a lot of calls for our 10 lb boxes Michigan Blueberries. It’s been a tough year in Michigan with the frosts in April after an unseasonably warm March and now all this heat.  Our main grower Fat Boys Farms let us know this morning that that all their blueberries dried up in the heat wave. So our produce buyers are working around the clock to find some and they have.  We do have #10 boxes this weekend.

Usually the Michigan Blueberry season is 8 weeks. Initially we thought that the season would be about 4 weeks this year, but now it is looking like a lot less. Mother nature will have the final say on that. So, the moral of the story is… if you want 10lb boxes of blueberries now is the time, but please call if you are making a special trip. 

Just in case you do get your hands on a 10 lb. box of Michigan Blueberries. Here are links to a couple of my favorite blueberry recipes that I tested out this year on our springtime blueberries from CA.

Yikes. We’ve been getting a lot of calls for our 10 lb boxes of Fat Boys Farms Michigan. We love it! Just wish the supply was going to be more consistent to get us started. We spoke with Fat Boy’s owner and blueberry guru Ed Bader today about this year’s crop. He said, “With this heat it’s been hard to get pickers in the fields. Besides wreaking havoc on our pickers, the heat is slowing down the growth of what’s coming up to be picked. Supply could be sporadic for a bit until the blueberries can catch up.”

So, the moral of the story is… please call if you are making a special trip to get Blueberries. Things should get back to normal in a couple weeks.
