They aren't for sale this year. Indigo Farms is donating it all to food banks.

(35,992 posts)4. This one isn't what it seems
Indigo Farms has donated a massive amount of blueberries to food banks this year.
The flyer was altered when it was posted on Tik Tok.
Yeah I know it's 101.5 and they suck but still:

"Indigo Farms of NJ is a regenerative organic blueberry farm in the State of NJ in its ninth harvest season, it is imperative to prune plants based on our growing method," Bohlin said in a written statement on Monday.
"To be clear, our farm utilizes the federal program, H2A to source labor and have not been impacted by migrant labor shortages whatsoever," Bohlin said, adding the farm does everything "by the book" and is a proud participant in the federal program that allows for legal seasonal hiring of American workers.

Bohlin and her sons had the idea to help locals in a pruning year, as plants are trimmed back every 8 to 10 years, for maximum crop health.
Realistically, it's a combination of market pricing, necessary pruning timing that has pushed us in the direction of being focused towards volunteering/donations this year as opposed to a commercial harvest, Director of Operations Brian Bohlin said in an email to New Jersey 101.5.

as it has to do with facts and emotional manipulation is not good.
Crikey what a world.
