Frank, I've never encountered blueberries in the wild. Out west they are definitely more of a cultivated plant. Tom, I heard that segment when it first aired and absolutely loved it. Anthony, I'm sort of jealous that you live so close to Mood's, because I'm now in love with that place. I bought an overflowing quart of marked nectarines for $2 there. The produce bargains were just amazing! I'll try to get back out for the cider in the fall. e, I've always wanted to go to Alaska and now I know that I'll need to aim for blueberry season. I think I should do all traveling to coincide with good produce times. Paul, I figured that's what you meant, because I never found wild blueberries in Portland, but there were always tons of blackberries. Did anyone ever tell you that you shouldn't eat wild blackberries that are right by a road, because they can absorb car exhaust as they grow, which is not something you want to ingest. Because of that piece of advice, we were only ever allowed to eat blackberries in the wild if they were in fairly isolated or remote places.

The only blueberries I've picked where during a bike ride to a NJ U Pick-Em place. Actually, I need to correct myself, for the record-

Moods is great. You shouldmake a point of going back in the fall when the apple cider is out. It's the best! Of course, the real blueberry capital of the world is in Hammonton, NJ - a little further ride for you, but during the season it's worth the trip. There's Tomasello Winery nearby and a little market called Bagliani's that has some great fresh food. Wow - you were right down the road from me! Moods is great.

Lovely, flat ride into foothills, with berries along the way. Washington County north and west of Hillsboro/Beaverton, anywhere outside UGB- just awesome scenic countryside!

Somehow blueberries remind me of childhood...I guess finding them in the wild. Does that happen anymore? I'm not sure my kids could even identify a bb that wasn't in a package from Acme.
