Suggest you do a search using Blueberries and the local zip code. I have done it in the past for organic products and I know there are some blueberry growers within easy reach of TV.
Local blueberries are wonderful!

Yes, that's one of the farms listed on the link that I posted above. The link has the telephone number, times open, directions and all. It also says they sell blueberry plants so you can grow blueberries at home. Sounds like a nice farm.

Picked blueberries at Sugar Hill Blueberries last Sunday. $3.00 per lb. EXCELLENT picking with lots of ripe berries. They give you this spiffy harness that holds the bucket in front of you for 2 handed picking delight!
Located 3/4 mile west of SR 484 on SE 36th Ave in Belleview (36th is also called cr367)
