Blueberries

Wish Farms is a leading blueberry supplier, sourcing the highest quality berries and partnering with experienced growers around the globe.

Our year round blueberry program has grown considerably in the last ten years. Wish Farms blueberries are grown throughout the USA including Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, New Jersey, Michigan, and California. Our international blueberries are grown in British Columbia, Argentina and throughout Chile.

Blueberry seasons are relatively short compared to strawberries. Growing regions jump quickly throughout the year based on weather. Organic blueberries are available during select times of the year.

The popularity of blueberries in recent years is undeniable.   They are a superfood high in antioxidants and rich in essential vitamins. Blueberries are the perfect ingredient to so many recipes or a fresh snack to enjoy any time of day.

Nutrition Facts

Nutrition Facts

NutriFacts-Blueberry-SVG

Blueberries are a delicious superfood loaded with vitamin C, E and A, as well as a great source of potassium, calcium and iron.

Blueberries rank among the fruits with the highest antioxidant content.  Antioxidants prevent and repair cell damage and reduce the amount of free radicals in the body.  Studies have shown that consuming one cup of blueberries provides the recommended amount of antioxidants required in a day!

Picking Guide

Picking Guide

Blueberries are handpicked then sorted and packed with the help of a blueberry packing line. Harvesting blueberries is a multistep process with a lot of care and attention along the way.

When selecting blueberries look for:

  • Blueberries stored in a refrigerated display case within the produce department
  • Plump and round shape; size will vary but does not reflect the freshness
  • Clean berries and dry container
  • Free of shrivel, dents, or bruises

Unlike a strawberry, the ideal sheen of fresh blueberries should have a soft dusty white coating called “bloom.”  Bloom is a natural part of the growing process.  It provides a defense mechanism helping to protect blueberries from harsh sunlight.

The size of the blueberry does not determine the flavor.  Some blueberry gems can be extra sweet and some more tangy.  Our favorite way to enjoy the many flavors of fresh blueberries is to pop them in your mouth three at a time.  The tips above will help you select the freshest blueberries available.

Berry Care

Berry Care

A lot of love goes into growing and harvesting blueberries.  Follow these berry care tips to keep your blueberries fresher longer.

  • Always keeps your blueberries refrigerated.
  • Gently rinse blueberries under cool water just prior to use.

Freshness does vary.  Ideally, blueberries should last approximately five to seven days in your refrigerator.

How to Freeze

How to Freeze

The best way to keep Wish Farms strawberries and blueberries on hand all year long is to freeze them and preserve for later use.
Frozen berries are perfect for making smoothies and protein shakes, jams and jellies in addition to countless berry recipes.

  1. Gently rinse blueberries with cool water
  2. Pat lightly with a towel to soak up water.
  3. Allow time for the berries to thoroughly dry.
  4. Evenly lay berries on a cookie sheet
  5. Place cookie sheet into the freezer for approximately 2 hours; or until berries are completely frozen
  6. Pour frozen berries into large plastic zipper bag and seal tightly
  7. Write the date on the plastic bag and store in freezer
