Last year was another bad year for blueberries in Arkansas. This year was much better. But we did not wait for the big plump berries. We loaded up as soon as we had a chance and have several shelves in the freezer full. We should make it until the next crop. The Dept of Agriculture in Arkansas introduced blueberry farming several years ago after studies on which areas of the state were most suitable. Fortunately, Stone County now has several blueberry farms including one big operation that ships berries out of state.
