Acadia Blueberries, Not Just for Pancakes Anymore
Maine Blueberries can be found growing wild in and around Bar Harbor. It’s one of my favorite snacks while biking along Acadia National Park’s carriage trails. Wild berries are a free treat. However, they can be found in many value added products as well.
New companies are springing up promoting the health effects of our natural nutrition filled small local fruit. You can find blueberry syrups, jams and jellies, but that’s just the beginning. Frozen in your grocery case, blueberries can be available all year round for your breakfast and baking adventures.
In addition, try some of the dried berry products. Maine Munchies has a new process where they minimize the extra corn syrup added to many dried blueberry products. Begun by Mount Desert Island’s Otter Creek residents, Maine Munchies now has a production facility in Ellsworth, and their products are featured at many businesses in downtown Bar Harbor.
Blueberry dog biscuits are another unique and interesting development. Called Bite O’Blue the natural, organic dog biscuit has been a hit in the dog treat world. Produced by Peaked Mountain Farm in Dedham Maine.
