Blueberry Picking Near Concord: What You Need to Know
New Hampshire's acidic, glacially-formed soil actually suits blueberries well, and a number of small highbush farms near Concord, along with wild lowbush patches in the hills, give visitors real pick-your-own options each summer.
Blueberry Picking in New England
New England has one of the deepest blueberry traditions in the country, blending commercial highbush farms with genuine wild lowbush blueberry patches in the hills and barrens of the interior. Maine is the undisputed center of that tradition — the wild blueberry barrens of Washington and Hancock counties make it the largest wild blueberry producer in the world — while Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont all support smaller highbush farms suited to the region's naturally acidic, glacially-formed soil. The season typically runs from July through August, with wild and cultivated berries sometimes ripening on slightly different schedules at the same farm.
