Highland Organics - "A Taste of wild Maine in every blueberry."®: June 2008

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.
