Canaan Blueberries - Our best kept secret!
The Canaan Blueberry Farm experienced some of their best seasons in 2007 and 2008. 2009 was good, but with so many rainy days at the beginning of the picking season, and a loss of much of their plants due to winter kill, they had to close due to a lack of fruit. The Reynolds as always headed up a fabulous team ready to serve up the best "pick your own" blueberries anywhere... and we mean anywhere. Some of their blueberries were nearly as round as quarters and fine folk came in from all over the region to fill their baskets in this beautiful, quiet, rural setting that is so magnetic some residents literally returned day after day.
