Wild Maine blueberries are back, and so is summer's delicious lineup of specials. 🫐

From scratch-made Blueberry Pie with house-churned vanilla ice cream to our Blueberry Filled Donut (yes, with red, white & blue sprinkles), we're celebrating the berries that have grown wild along Maine's coast for over 10,000 years.

Sourced exclusively from a four-generation family farm, these little berries pack big flavor, and they're only here for the summer.

Come taste the wild difference. 🍰
