Allen's blueberry lands dot the Maine coast from Brunswick to Machias, a healthy spread that protects our supply from localized frost or drought. Of the total acreage, we own half. So we make sure the growing's done right: Respect for nature. Enlightened husbandry. Spectacular fruit. Wild blueberries grow on low, wirey bushes. Pruning ­­ traditionally by fire, more recently by mower to preserve the soil's organic pad ­­ encourages fruit. Harvested during late July and August, the crop is immediately cleaned and frozen for peak quality and flavor.
