Farm Report-The Blues Are Due

We went into this week ready to harvest and had to delay because the blueberries just weren't out yet. We had wonderful clusters of white berries but the drought in May and June seemed to stop them from developing further. Then something magical happened: the strong rains that battered the west side of Lake Michigan on Wednesday moved across the water and soaked the fields. By Thursday morning, George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" could have been playing as a soundtrack as we started harvesting with a vengeance. July 29 will be even better!
