Regarding local markets- I used to sell our blueberries at a local market. Sold at fair or current store prices. Thing was our berries were local. Nothing was sprayed on our berries and they were picked the day before. BTW, blueberries don't ripen any further once picked.
On a side note, our 20 acre blueberry field took a 100% loss this season. We had two days of 26 degrees in mid March. Froze the flowers and young berries on the make.
I turned the field into a U-Pick blueberry operation years ago. People come and pay me to pick.
Every season is a flat out gamble. Why I still have a day job.
