I drove up to maine for the wild blueberry weekend events. I specifically made it a point to stop by fields fields. you'll understand why in a second or if you look at the photos I attached.
when you first get there, you are greeted by someone who will direct you on where to park to access the farm. it's an easy and short walk from the grassy lot to the main area.
once make it to the main area, you will notice many vendors in tents (at least during this event) before you make it to the farm itself.
definitely make it a point to stop by the food truck(s), especially the wild maine blueberry crisp cart.
I made my way all the way down to pick up an empty carton and head to the blueberry field to try my hand at picking wild maine blueberries. the heat and sun is no joke so definitely stay hydrated and wear sun protection. thinking it wouldn't take that long, it took me a good 40 minutes to go from an empty carton to the full one. it's a pretty rewarding experience because the blueberries are so good, but it does require you to crouch down in the field to pick so it may not be the right adventure for everyone. make sure to scan their venmo or put some cash in the bucket as a suggested donation for the blueberries.
let's go back to what I came here for. WOW. the legendary fields fields wild maine blueberry crisp exceeded all of my expectations as both a blueberry lover and a foodie. quite possibly one of the best desserts I've ever had, and definitely the best dessert I've had this year. you get the texture and flavor from the crisp, the sweet, tartness from the wild maine blueberries, and if that's somehow not enough, paired with the refreshing coolness of the scoop of vanilla ice cream (it was hot out) to bring it all together. I wholeheartedly recommend this dessert to anyone. I got the regular version, but they also have a vegan version (no ice cream?) and also everything is gluten-free.
forever haunted by how good this was, I got this cutie sticker at the window for $2 to commemorate this experience. I believe they had it on a shirt as well at one of the other tents but this lil guy spoke to me. read more
