18. Solo Ripening
Blueberries grow in clusters but the berries don’t ripen at the same time. Surely this is frustrating for the farmer, no? On the bush, they take two to five weeks to ripen.

The United States and Canada produce 95% of the world’s blueberry crop producing a total of 200,000,000 pounds each year.
20. Shaken not Stirred
In order to harvest blueberries, the bush branches are shaken and the falling berries are gathered. Sounds tedious but they’re so worth it.
