I've got blue hair, and I talk like a puppet! I'm a freaking blueberry!

Apparently Maine is famous for blueberries, but who needs Maine blueberries when you can have New Hampshire blueberries?

We started out this morning for Emery Farm in Durham, NH. Established in 1655, you just can't get much more family farm than this place. We picked a pint of blueberries from several bushes and several different rows. Jon nearly picked a chipmunk! The store on the farm had a variety of fresh vegetables--potatoes, sweet corn(picked this morning in western Mass. NH corn won't be ready until August), squash, zucchini, raspberries, and lettuce. I also saw a hothouse full of tomatoes that were nearly ready.

We left w/ the blueberries and one squash and a zucchini and promised to return for all our vegetable needs. Our total bill $2.41. Fortunately we were not charged for the berries Jon ate while we were in the field. :)
