The New Jersey Blueberry

Event Details

Elizabeth White, the daughter of a New Jersey farmer, and Dr. Frederick Coville, a USDA botanist, harvested and sold the first commercial crop of blueberries out of Whitesbog, N.J. in 1916.

Judith Krall‐Russo will present the history of the “swamp huckleberry” and why it’s touted as a wonder fruit with a host of healthful benefits. Judith will also share a variety of ways to prepare and savor these berries.

This event is part of CHPL’s Everything Jersey series, a year-long celebration of the Garden State. Everything Jersey is presented by the Cherry Hill Public Library and is made possible by a gift from the Robert Mentzer Estate.
