Season: July to August
Description: Maine is the world's largest producer of lowbush blueberries. Its crop requires about 50,000 beehives for pollination, with most of the hives being trucked in from other states for that purpose. While Maine is the leader of lowbush blueberry production in the United States, Michigan is the leader in highbush production. Ok, maybe we're not number one, but delicious blueberries are widely available at New York markets throughout the summer months.
