Blueberry harvest season in the NJ Pine Barrens on the farm where it all started! From 1911-1916 Elizabeth Coleman White and Dr. Frederick Coville took wild blueberry cuttings found by locals and crossed them to develop over 20 varieties to bring to market and sell as nursery stock to local farmers. You can walk the rows of original blueberry bushes, taste the varieties, tour Elizabeth's House & Gardens (101 years old this year!) and see a display of the 40 years of Blueberry Festivals hosted by Whitesbog Preservation Trust! All these years of fundraising to save the farm and village history!
Updates will be here for Vendors, Food Trucks, Bands, weather updates and more. Rain Dates are Sundays each week.
