Why did we choose the State of Maine as the source of our wild blueberries? Because some of the best natural things in the world come from Maine! Maine is recognized as one of the most healthful states in the United States and it has one of the most pristine and beautiful environments in our country. It's also not very populated so there is plenty of wilderness for wild blueberries to grow.
People who know about Maine appreciate its slower, quieter pace of life.
From the snow-capped mountains in the North, to the clean cold rocky coast in
the East, Maine is one of the most beautiful states in the country.
A State with a small, friendly population, natural things abound in
Maine. Wild Blueberries, lobsters, moose, puffins (a bird), bears, bald
eagles...and a bunch of other wild things all live in Maine, a place
where there aren't a lot of people to get in their way.
From old-fashioned covered bridges to quaint little [lobster] fishing villages many Americans imagine a place of wondrous beauty when they think of Maine.
Hikers, skiers, fisherman, sailors, kayakers, white water rafters, and
wildlife enthusiasts all travel to Maine to "get away from it all" and
experience the best of the outdoors.
Maine is recognized for its fabulous fall foliage, its wonderful
winter snowfalls, its rushing rivers, its rugged rocky shoreline, the
beautiful light houses that dot its coast, and the quality of its life
and environment...
People who know Maine know it is a place they can escape to when they
want to relax in one of the most amazing places around.
