Facts of Interest:
Blueberries are prized for their flavor and versatility.  Beautiful, versatile and delicious, blueberries are one of nature's most nutritious foods. They are wonderfully pop-able eaten alone, but can be tasty additions to pancakes, muffins, yogurt, bowls of cereal, fruit salad and many other options too numerous to mention. For all these possibilities, fresh, sweet blueberries contain only about 80 calories per cup. A one-cup serving also contains 5 grams of fiber, about 20% of the recommended daily amount. In addition, blueberries contain vitamin C, potassium and folate, and have no fat, cholesterol or sodium.

Blueberries are a new crop for Stemilt, but you will definitely see more “Stemilt Blues” in the future. Stemilt has blueberries growing in the hot, dry Columbia Basin to meet early-season demand. Just the right varieties for that climate have been planted there.

Then Stemilt picks its late-season blueberries from the cooler, high-elevation reaches of Stemilt Hill later in the summer. Both locations produce premium, large-size berries that you can pop in your mouth – until they’re all gone! Look for Stemilt Blues from July through August.
