When I first moved to Virginia, my dad bought a local newspaper, and there was an advertisement for a pick your own blueberry place in Pungo, a small community outside of Virginia Beach. This will be the third summer I have gone to pick blueberries, and it didn't disappoint. I had planned to go over the weekend, but with the threat of a heat index in the 100 degree range, I opted for the coolest day of the week.
I went early in the morning since it was still supposed to be hot. There were quite a few people there, and the blueberry bushes were loaded.
My total haul was over 8 pounds of blueberries. They freeze really well, and all you have to do is put them in plastic bags and put them in the freezer. That's it, and they don't get mushy like strawberries. It took awhile to pick my 8 pounds, but it was worth it.
There was also a local farmstand located right next to the blueberry farm where I got all of this:
I love summer produce :).
