Blueberry Picking in Trout Brook Valley Preserve

One of the best things about summer at Aspetuck Land Trust is picking blueberries at our 1,009 acreTrout Brook Valley preserve. We spend alot of time taking care of the 800 blueberry bushes

. I hope you will have a chance to hike out and pick some berries this summer.

There is a great story written about the berries at Fairfield Green Food Guide, an excellent local food blog. Find out how to get to the blueberries at this great site.
