excerpt:
J.T. Lyons opened his place to the public about six years ago. Now, almost every summer day is filled with visitors — some first-timers, some familiar faces.
“Right now the whole field has started to blue up,” J.T. said. “By August it will be completely blue and the longer they hang on the vine, the juicier and sweeter they get.”

Can you just expand on why you posted this - is it because blueberries are really healthy to eat (as the story is in health)?

Sure.....I think this a cute story and yes, according to many health experts,blueberries contain more antioxidants than any other food, which in itself is fascinating. But beyond that widely known bit of information, I find the very practice, of individuals, families or whomever going to pick berries on a farm somewhat healthy too. A break from the fast paced and somewhat impersonal lives of suburbs or cities etc.......Oh yeah, one other thing, I know the farmers and I hope that's not a conflict on interest.......
