Invitation to UMO Pilot Plant to meet the Governor of Maine

Our Organic Wild Maine Blueberry Products

Highland Organics® introduces the first-ever
Organic Whole Plant Wild Maine Blueberry Tea and
Organic Blueberry Barque.

Our premium loose leaf tea is hand-crafted with the sun sweetened blueberry fruit of summer and the crimson-red blueberry leaves of fall. We combined both for a taste of wild Maine blueberries in every cup. Our whole plant blueberry tea is already naturally caffeine-free, so what could be better!

The Blueberry Barque (pronounced bark) is a truly wild Maine blueberry treat. No sugars, sulphites or oils added to this blueberry chip. Add it to yogurt, ice cream, salads, sweet breads, cereals instead of frozen blueberries. It is a taste of wild Maine blueberries in every bite!

Product Demonstrations in Maine Stores

As the new year presents itself, we are excited about the new opportunities to introduce our products to new stores. We will post where we will be doing demonstrations of the tea and barque so that you can take advantage of coming into these stores to have a taste of wild Maine blueberries for free!

Below is a list of the following stores that we will be at.

Stop in and say hello, we thank you for supporting the stores that support our farm.

Invitation to UMO Pilot Plant to meet the Governor of Maine

On Wednesday, May 7th, Highland Blueberry Farm was invited to display our product at the Test Kitchen in the Pilot Plant at the University of Maine Food Science Department. Dr. Beth Calder asked if we would show our product and provide samples as well as a tasting of our whole plant tea. This was quite an honor for us as we are so grateful to everyone in the Food Science Department who helped us with the research and development of our whole plant tea after being awarded 3 Maine Technology Seed Grants.

My daughter, Chelsea and I gave the Governor a taste of the tea, to which he commented, "This is very good." We also gave him a 5 oz. tin with tea bags to take home. He promised to do more to promote blueberries.

This was the set up of our hot and cold tea samples at the UMO Test Kitchen.

Next month we will be hosting a Tea at the Blaine House together with Peaked Mountain Farm maker of Bite o' Blue Dog Treats. We will get to serve our tea to The First Lady and others that attend the tea.
