I found my thrill...
Endless opportunities for blueberry picking. Blueberry hills forever 😉 thats my last bad pop music reference in this post, I promise.
With a beautiful view!
Blueberry hill is a wild blueberry management area in the Moosalamoo National Recreation Area near Goshen, Vermont.
The berry bushes are all around.
There are blueberries but also wild blackberries and wild raspberries.
The quantities of blueberries is overwhelming.
However for the uninitiated... wild blueberries are smaller and grow close to the ground. Lots of work 😅
We went two days and got over 6 pounds for the tiny berries 🙂 Spent about an hour each day to break it up.
There are also random flowers 😊
If you go, its well marked. Wild blueberries like some shade so look under the taller bushes for the biggest blueberries and most productive plants.
The path in is deceptive. There are hundreds of hiking trails heading off through the undergrowth in Vermont.
But it opens up. I think the "management" consists of keeping the larger trees for taking over the open fields.
For those of you that aren't 50's Rock and Roll fans or never watched Happy Days ...

Awesome… blueberries 🫐🫐🫐 everywhere.
Here they are not ripe yet…
Will have a look in 10 days when I am back.
Driving the Irish car back now to sell.
So 5 days of driving only to get from A to B
Have a wonderful Sunday. 👋🏻
Yeah blueberries are wonderful. Too complicated to sell car in Sweden?
As it is Irish it has the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car for all most all countries in europe. So yes, we have to bring it back and sell there. Much easier…
Can’t wait to drive on the “good side” again 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
in America we all drive on the same side of the road lol you have to picture that with a good John Wayne accent
Yes I know… the good side. Hehe could imagine it well 😂
It is difficult to pass by trucks and campervans (that are everywhere right now) sitting on the other side.
!LOL

Berry picking is something I remember from childhood and it's hard work. Mainly mulberries and blackberries but my mother's jam making sprees required large quantities of the same. Enjoy the fruits of your labour!
It is great fun but harder when you are older 😅 my knees and back were killing me. We are freezing some and will probably do some baking this week.
Freezing and baking is better than jam, Enjoy!
Thanks for the support 🙏🙏
I will be purple at the end of day by consuming these lots of berries 😂. Gosh, it tempting to pick all of the blueberries I can see on that place
My fingers were purple for sure 🙂 it is fun to snack as you go
It's funny, i almost put the song link in your last post.... but saw this one and went for it. I didn't realize you had already put the song on at the end of your post. Hahaha
You got some great shots and quite the bounty!
Yes we are "processing" blueberries this week. The good thing is they freeze well so we don't have to use them all right away. Might go for a blueberry pie. That uses alot of blueberries 😊 We are tempted to make one more picking trip before the season is gone... it so hard to resist
I've picked buckets and buckets of blueberries and always felt rich when I had the freezer stocked! I don't think they are even the same fruit as the ones you buy at the grocery store.
They definitely taste different and are smaller. I almost like them better. More intense flavor, less watery.
