THE BLUEBERRIES ARE COMING!
For those of you (and there have been dozens) who have been asking when the blueberries at Earth Friendly Organic Farm (located on Olde Noah Hunt Road, about three miles west of Great Adventure) will be ready to pick, there's news from the farm's owner, Roz Ressner:
"The berries are ripening," Roz says, "and hopefully we'll begin picking on the 30th of June." Hours: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
Roz and her crew at Earth Friendly, on Olde Noah Hunt Road, also have a number of activities planned for the summer. For example:
* Make the perfect blueberry pie, with Theresa Brosius in the Kitchen
followed by lunch on the patio; Tuesday, July 17, from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
* Learn to make blueberry jam; Wednesday, July 11, starting at 9:30 a.m. You'll pick blueberries, make jam and have lunch at Earth Friendly.
Call Roz to make reservations for both events: (609) 259-9744.
And here's another note from Roz re: a special you-pick day on Sunday, July 22, to benefit an organization called Empower The Children. "My good friend, Rosalie, a retired speech therapist from Jackson, lives in Kolkata eight months of the year and has devoted her life to helping impoverished children of Kolkata through educational and nutritional programs, served up with lots of love! Earth Friendly would like to invite you to help in a small way. A portion of our blueberry sales will be donated to Empower the Children. So please reserve Sunday, July 22 for some serious picking!"

I've said this before and I'm sure I'll say it again after I pick blueberries at Earth Friendly this summer: I've never had better blueberries, anywhere. And, as many of you know from reading my end-of-summer vacation chronicles, I'm a Maine regular and I've got tons of blueberry experience.
Cheers,
Andy
