Southeastern Blueberry Farms
The Southeast is genuine blueberry country, with Georgia and North Carolina both ranking among the nation's leading producers thanks to rabbiteye and highbush varieties suited to the region's sandy, acidic soils and long growing season. South Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi each contribute their own established industries, and Florida's southern highbush varieties, bred specifically for the state's mild winters, produce some of the earliest blueberries in the entire country, often ready by April. The harvest here stretches from spring into midsummer, one of the longest blueberry windows in the nation.
