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.

Blueberries, Bees and Spring

The Maine snow is beginning to melt and we are beginning to see the dormate blueberry vines show in spotty patches where the snow has gone.

I have begun my "Beekeeping Class" in Albion and have my nukes ordered. (For those of us who know nothing about bees, nukes are not bombs, but frames of bees, broods, and a queen bee.) I am very excited about this venture.

In the past, my daughter, Whitney and I, would go out into the blueberry fields during pollination and "unofficially" count the honeybees and bumble bees in our field. I have always been fasinated by the honeybee and as you can see by some of my photos, I really love to take pictures of them. So this really seems like a natural thing to do, begin keeping bees in a hive to pollinate the fields and gardens, but to also collect honey from them. Besides there is definately something yummy about whole plant blueberry tea and honey together that makes the blueberry flavor pop in the tea!

Thank you, Todd Hardie from Honey Gardens, long-time friend and supporter of our farm. His love of bees and the fact that he very gently encouraged me for 5 years, has allowed me to take this first step of fulfilling a life-long desire of mine. (Remember "Fried Green Tomatoes" movie?)
