They gave us a guided tour of their blueberry fields and an insight into the blueberry industry. Did you know that currently, the province sells product within Canada and in addition exports frozen wild blueberries all over the world. PEI\u2019s production of wild blueberries is over 34 million pounds annually!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We spoke about the importance of supplying blueberries locally, Terry\u2019s farm currently supplies local breweries on the island.

The rock free, level fields of Prince Edward Island that make potato farming favourable are also ideal for the growth and harvest of wild blueberries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"1259\" src=\"https:\/\/peigiftcard.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/117874946_235171437757582_191439116473952513_n-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1259\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"1260\" src=\"https:\/\/peigiftcard.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/118006437_311793093228175_5541683821983436383_n-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1260\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is fantastic to see the journey of such a superior product being grown here on Prince Edward Island from field to beverage.
