Mid-Atlantic Blueberry Country
New Jersey anchors the mid-Atlantic's blueberry identity, with Hammonton in the Pine Barrens calling itself the Blueberry Capital of the World on the strength of enormous highbush production that supplies fresh and processed berries nationwide. Delaware and Maryland's Eastern Shore share the same favorable sandy, acidic Delmarva soil, while Pennsylvania and Virginia contribute their own smaller commercial farms. The season here generally runs from late June through July, often overlapping with the region's peach harvest at the same farms.
