Kentucky Blueberries – A Super Good Super Food
Kentucky blueberries are a little bit later this year due to cooler than normal weather this spring. Once blueberry season starts I hardly have time to think!
There are good things and bad things about farm life, but the good out weighs the bad as far as I’m concerned.
It’s wonderful being able to work with family (even if the little ones do eat blueberries as fast as we pick them).
It’s a good feeling knowing that we grow one of the top 10 super foods. Blueberries are cancer fighters and one of the best things you can eat for your health. Don’t believe me? Click here.
It’s a blessing knowing that my great-grandmother’s farm is still in our family. My great-grandparents and grandparents were farmers and my mother and her brothers were born in the little white farm house that sits on the farm. Their cash crop was tobacco but we stopped raising tobacco years ago.
If you are ever in our area come by and get some delicious Kentucky blueberries from Belleview Blueberry Farm!
There’s not a lot of money in farming and it’s hard work but it’s rewarding in so many ways.
Any other farmers out there? What do you grow and how do you feel about farming?
This is a blog hop. I do hope you will link up and leave a comment!
Me too, Karen!
Oh, so yummy! I just love blueberries.
Thanks Veronica! I did not know they didn’t grow over seas. I wonder why?
They are super good for you!
Come to Kentucky and I’ll let you pick all you can eat!
They are good. Taste so different than ones you buy at the store!
Thanks Patrick and hope you have a great week too!
We have wild blackberries and you are so right. Exact same thing with them. We love blackberry cobblers and appreciate them because it’s so dang hard to get the berries!
Thanks Cindy! All the grands can eat them as fast as they pick them!
I’m trying Lydia!
I love blueberries-what great memories you’ll give those grandkids!
Love your photographs, especially the one of the little boy eating blueberries as he picks them! It reminds me of when I was little and ate strawberries from my grandmother’s patch. Good memories!
We have wild black raspberries on our property in Michigan and they are delicious but a lot of work. The plants are prickly and you have to wear protective clothing because the bushes are so thick. Best time to gather is when it is super hot so they are ripe and yummy. But that means layering clothing during the heat. Well worth it though.
Beautiful pics. Looks like a wonderful time. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.
Wow that would be fun to have fresh blueberries, I bet they taste so good!
I’ll bet they are the best tasting blueberries ever!

I love blueberries but unfortunately, they don’t grow over here on our side of the pond. It’s wonderful your great-grandmother’s farm is still in your family, Teresa.
