Wild Blueberry Land Is History
Wild blueberries thrive down east, having taken root in the region’s thin soil after glaciers receded more than 10,000 years ago. Which is precisely why a large, purple geodesic dome now rises from the earth on the side of Route 1 in Columbia Falls. Marie and Dell Emerson built the structure in 2001, a few miles from their farm, Wescogus Wild Blueberry. The dome was initially intended as a farmstand, offering better visibility than their tucked-away barrens. They sold fresh wild blueberries as well as blueberry jams and blueberry pies.
