"Growers in British Columbia's Fraser Valley are picking the very last (blue) berries... Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the coastal mountains, the Fraser Valley has some of the richest and most fertile soil in British Columbia and plenty of rain, which creates a natural acidity in the soil that is perfect for blueberries. That's why this area is the No. 1 highbush blueberry-growing region on the planet. Enjoy the last, best berries of the season now. Soon, those cartons at the market will contain nothing but Argentina- and Chile-grown berries, which means smaller packages and higher prices." [MercuryNews]Wednesday, August 15, 2012
