We are always looking for great activities here in New Jersey, and one that is a "summer" activity is blueberry picking, and we have the BEST blueberries in the nation right here in the Garden State

If you have ever driven through South Jersey in the summer, you know the blueberry farms seem to go on forever. New Jersey’s blueberry industry is actually huge, especially around Hammonton, known as the “Blueberry Capital of the World.” The state has thousands of acres of blueberry fields and produces millions of pounds of blueberries every year. It’s a big part of Jersey farming and one of those classic summer sights down the Shore area.

Blueberries are the official "fruit" of New Jersey. There are many farms around the state that you can go picking at, and it's a nice time that you and the family can enjoy getting fresh air, sunshine, and fantastic FRESH Jersey blueberries

What I like about fruit picking is that it is very relaxing. It's beautiful weather, easy exercise, sometimes music is playing in the fields, and you can just chill and pick real healthy fruit for you and your family. My wife and I go early because it can get hot later in the day during summer, so we get to the farm as it opens and enjoy the earlier time of day and the cooler weather.

Here is video from one of our trips to DiMeo Farms

For example, we went to DiMeo Farms in Hammonton, New Jersey.... We go there every summer to pick blueberries.

This way April will have enough blueberries for many of her projects this summer, including pie, muffins, hand pie, jam, etc .... I think I benefit quite well here, so I don't mind picking at all :) delicious!

Get out this summer and enjoy blueberry picking with your family here in the "Garden State"
