Our Blueberry Types
We have 8 unique varieties of blueberries here on our farm. Here is a bit of information on each of them.
Duke (Rows 1-5) produces a large, light blue berry early in the season. These berries are clustered closely and have a mild, sweet flavor.
Patriot (Rows 6-10) is a smaller bush, but its berries pack a large flavor. They bear early-season, along with the Dukes, and are a freezer favorite with our early customers. "Get lots of them and get them early so we have berries for the winter," is what we hear.
Spartan (Rows 11-15)--Large and sweet, a favorite with many of our customers.
Draper (Rows 16-21) "Crisp." "Crunchy." This is what we hear about this variety. It seems to have a higher fiber content and a tighter surface tension. A ripe one squirts flavor into your mouth.
Bluegold (Rows 22-25) has been described as "delicately sweet." Two of our customers remarked this berry has "overtones of basil." Bluegold is a distinctively flavored berry--a flavor open to interpretation by anyone who tries it.
Bluecrop (Rows 26-28) is the most widely planted blueberry in the United States. Perhaps that's why its flavor is termed "classic."
Chandler (rows 29-34) is the world's largest blueberry. I picked one recently and compared it to a quarter. The Chandler was larger than the quarter. These berries are awesome for just grabbing a handful out of a bowl and putting them in your mouth. They're full and sweet. And popular. Some of our customers come out here only for the Chandlers.
Liberty (Rows 35-40) is full-flavored--sweet but definitely possessing a "zanginess" to it. Some of our customers have said that these berries lean toward huckleberries in flavor. My recommendation: mix these with Chandlers for a great taste experience.
