June celebrates Georgia Blueberry Month. Georgia blueberry season is mid april to end of July. June is the peak of blue berry season in Georgia. Stock up on these delicious blueberries while you can and then freeze what you can to use later.



Blueberries are on the list of top ten super foods. Great for your diet as blueberries are rich in high levels of anti oxidants and fiber. Blueberries also have no known side effects and few allergies. They may also help slow the aging process.
