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
The official fruit of New Jersey is the blueberry. In fact in 2003 fourth grade students at Veteran’s Memorial Elementary School in Brick Township campaigned to make the delicious blueberry the official State fruit here in the “Garden State”. Lawmakers in Trenton granted the Brick kids wish and made the blueberry the official fruit in 2004.
Of course after your done you'll be rewarded with blueberry muffins, pie, pancakes and fresh berries to gobble up at home. We even froze a bunch so we'll have blueberries for the next several months.
