Despite a cold winter this year, blueberry lovers should be in for a treat this summer. Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler says the 2018 blueberry season is shaping up to be a good one despite unusually cold weather in the first quarter of the year.
“Our blueberry growers have become accustomed to dealing with unusual weather,” Troxler said in a press release this week. “They have done an excellent job protecting the crop from frost this year, and overall, it is in very good condition. Consumers should expect fresh, N.C. blueberries from now through July.”
