Blueberry Road
Though New Jersey claims the blueberry as its state fruit, Maine is
the blueberry production capital of North America and produces
almost 100 percent of all berries harvested in the United States. The
annual harvest of North American blueberries would cover a four lane highway from Chicago to New York if spread out in a single layer.
