Wild Blueberries have always grown along the coast of Maine. But only in this century has their goodness been commercially farmed. It all began in 1925, when Albert and Osmon Merrill started growing our family business. Through the years, Merrill Blueberry Farms has grown to become a leader in the field of Wild Blueberries.
For four generations,
our Merrill family secrets have been hard work, innovation, and a total
commitment to our customers. A case in point: it seemed a pity to Osmon
that Wild Blueberries could be enjoyed only in the fleeting harvest
season. So he set to work in the early 1930s and pioneered the process
of freezing berries for year-round availability.
Today, our Merrill Wild
Blueberries are frozen by the IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) method
to ensure their long-lasting healthfulness and flavor. Each year we
improve or upgrade our existing system to provide a better product.
Our present daily production
is a far cry from the few hundred pounds that made Albert and Osmon
proud more than 75 years ago. Tried and true quality and experience
in providing a superior product to manufacturers and consumers is our
way of joining forces with nature. The blueberry has been a gift from
the soils of Eastern Maine to the Merrill family, and in turn, a gift
to people all across the countryside.
The family and employees of Merrill Blueberry Farms invite your inquiries, and we look forward to serving you with prime examples of our harvest.
