Over the last few days, we have shared some of the invaluable video footage we got with Jim, while spending a week visiting with him in Maine during his summer market season. We offer these special highlights as our gift to the growing community who are working together to create an even better grass roots food movement.
Jim has been a pivotal role model of ours since 2011, not long after we first began to grow food. We can genuinely say that he was a significant catalyst for change in our lives & we owe the foundation of our success to Jim's influence. Now it is your turn to spend a week with Jim, at your own pleasure.

Each year in late spring, Jim travels up to a little town just outside Eastport, Maine, to grow the most delicious, clean & vibrant food you can find. Then in early fall, he packs up & heads down to Florida to repeat the same plan.
Jim does not follow the rules, He creates his own evolving adaptations; a mixture of pure refined classic agriculture (the scythe), techniques passed along by elder growers, elements from books that have proven their worth & the intrinsic download from living with the land & slowing down enough to read it's own suggestions.
He is able to make an honest living doing this very thing he loves so much. His days bring him joy, purpose, connection & peace. The insights & techniques he has collected are invaluable. He plants, harvests, preps & markets in a way that naturally flows & the whole natural farming process is just waiting to be shared with you.
We have been to visit Jim before, but had never been able to come during the best & most productive time of the year for Jim. Everything is growing, blooming, ripening & the scenery around his camp is pure magic.

These used to grow wild in my grandmother's side yard in foothills of appalachia in South Carolina. She made many, many cobblers with them - incredibly delicious! She called them huckleberries though. Smaller and lower to the ground than typical blueberries. Later on, relatives graded the whole yard's topsoil away, along with the berries. The land was level, didn't need it at all. Those oldtimers love their tractors you know, Lol. Made me sick. They didn't even remember the bushes being there. Sad. My grandmother used to make me pick them for her cobblers, so I remember them well.
You know, I live in Scotland, and sometimes I feel like the only blueberry lover left: so its great to watch your enthusiasm and energy: we call them blaeberries here, and they are outstanding.
hi i am from brazil i am interested in acquiring some seeds from lowbush blueberries, for a project,would be glad if you answered ,you can ship me via letter,i will cover any related costs
This is fascinating. With all the blueberries and the abundance, one could make preserves, pies, freeze them.
OMG we have about 1/5 acre of wild blueberries in our woods just waiting for sun. Time to cut some timber to expose them to the light. Glad I came across this vid. TFS
Janette Lavender that’s awesome!

The Weather looks BEAUTIFUL there ¥
Reminds me of the time spent in Cape Breton Island with family, blueberry patches like this everywhere!
Pete man, you and Jim have a good chemistry. Thank you for uploading this video so we can learn many things from your friend here in the Philippines. So inspiring is Jim.
Romeo Lanzaderas thank you! 🙏
Knowledge is the best resource learned, this is wonderful to watch👌🤘
This reminds me of my late husband. We go on the northern part of Minnesota to pick wild blueberries. Sure miss thise days. He loves blueberry pie. And im not crazy eating pie. I just make it for him since he enjoyed blueberry pie. I only like to eat it fresh.
Jim is awesome thanks pete for the update,,,
Wyman’s Wild & Organic Blueberries is the way to go and was unaware of deceitful advertising . One would assume wild is free of pesticides and herbicides and great information!!
Just amazing as always 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
love it. It's berry delicious! Good one Gav!
Our Florida Garden he's quite the charter!
He is such a smart man💙
Awesome videos with Jim! Wild ORGANIC Blueberries are the best!
Thank you! I was on berry overload in Maine.
Great stuff Pete looks like you and Jim are having some fun.
Steve's Outdoor World thank you! Yes, always fun hanging with Jim.
This is soooo awesome! 🍇
That was so cool I was berry shook 😂
Fascinating---I had no idea of this as a WestCoasty. 2:30
tahts amazing I didnt know blueberries grow like this, I love hearing about the natural climates of plants
HF TL Right?!? Pretty interesting stuff.
Similar to Alaska in the summer love this!❤️👍
I'd like to see the rakes and the raking. What a beautiful field!
i love blueberries and cranberries, especially like that, from good people
Thanks for the vlog Pete. Sad they pervert something so natural. But thankful for ppl like Jim, Ellen and you! Loving the vlogs from Costa Rica too!
Teri Jean thank you! Going back to Maine this summer 😉
My wife and I were both born and raised in Maine. We don't live there now but we took the boys to Maine to visit family and they ate so many blueberries that they pooped blue.😁😂😄🤣😭🤣😄😂😁😂😄🤣😭
Awesome video
Man i wished those grew like that here in Kansas! So cool!
when I was a kid, our family and friends would rent a place in Christmas Cove and pick wild blueberries out on the islands, great memories.
Such a beautiful area! Those must be some amazing memories.
So cool! We have a lot of blue berries in Alabama, but they are upright bushes. I bought a bunch from a neighbor who picked them from her yard. I planted some blue berries, but my bad girl goats got them and ate them down to the ground when I was not looking. Will replant a long ways away from the brat herd to grow them. I know my farm soil will be excellent for them and we do get premium prices for them here. I just need to put the bushes behind electric fencing to keep the brats and deer away. Jim is so cool and connected to folks! Enjoyed the video!
Thank you! Jim is the man. Glad you enjoyed :D
I'm in Alabama too and mine are close to 10ft tall. I'd pass out bending over and picking that much! I hear those wild berries are delicious though!
Have you found any good tropical blueberries in Costa Rica? My grandfathers farm in Mass got me hooked on them. Thanks again for making plant education free and high quality. Props!
A family friend grows blueberry and I am thinking about getting a bush in my backyard in the city
Hi you are a big cultivation enthusiast like me. A friend who lives in the USA sent me cuts of an interesting plant, it is Mulberry "Yllinois everbearing" a great variety of mulberry that produces from May until the end of September, excellent taste and consistency of the fruits that can be harvested to be sold, consider growing them for your vegetarian customers ;)
Awesome video! I would buy all those blueberries! I eat blueberries every day. But I'm in Florida.
I was in Maine - we took a canoe around a lake edge and picked blueberries and red berries (cranberries?) all around the edge.
Andrea Wisner thank you! They were so awesome! Jim will be bringing them back to sell at market canned.
YUM!!
I’m so jealous! 😭
Awesome
Gavin's a rockstar.
wow amazing field, wild blueberries are one of the most intensely flavored fruits so good
artichokez they’re the best!
Your wild blueberries grow and look a lot like our wild huckleberries in the west.
If they are spraying/crop dusting across the street... your berries are problaby getting chemical as well. Is there a test to find out?
Where can I buy them fresh in Massachusetts? There are just in the frozen section
how amazing, i would eat whole day there
When he said "raking" in relation to harvesting the berries, does it means what I think? Like just rake the ground and collect the berries? How do they not get damaged/Dirty?
There are special rakes, that people use to harvest blueberries.
It's not really a rake in the way you would think of a garden rake. It's more of a scoop. www.johnnyseeds.com/tools-supplies/harvesting-tools/highbush-blueberry-rake-9366.html
@@andrewpruitt8411 Cheers! I was literally picturing someone with a garden rake :/

Keep looking around as even in the Caribbean we have wild blueberries.
I'm Surprised ANYTHING grows there*_God's Grace ¥
Blueberries taste great

I will literally buy the entire harvest! Can someone link me to this guy or any local farmers that need to get rid of excess harvest?
Where can you get wild plants i would like to get some
I have never seen blueberry ground cover. I have bushes.
We grow montster Blueberries In NW Florida so you know
I Remember picking/eating Wild Blueberries right Outside @My Uncle Don's in *Machias_when I was a kid !¥
That must have been awesome 👏🏻
Update?
My Uncle has a home in *Machias, Maine.
?Near there
Hey Christina! Yes, we visited there last trip. It’s maybe 30-45 minutes from Jim.
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL NICE¥
Can I get a bag of these frozen?
When you are filming Close ups etc. SLOW down, we can't see what your filming. It's too fast.
Otherwise it's fine. Thanks!
Dick Lewis got it! I’ve stepped up my film game a lot.

Sprayed Wild Blueberries, that is the question you have to ask yourself, Organic, fuc NO..to much work
Hello , people get me so angry 😡 when they pick lots of blueberries and they get lots , and lots and more I’m son angry 😡 I’m going to go out into the woods and with my luck I’ll probably be chased by a black bear 🐻 I’m so angry , I probably get hit by lightning even I’m just so angry 😡 everyone is going to have blueberry pie but with my luck I’ll find crab apples 🍏 I’m so angry , thank you kindly all the best my friends;(
there is no need for pestisides in maine for blue berries, that is rediculous. i wish the growers cared about organics, it's so easy and yes, we have too many berries, and the machines have put people out of business! . plus tax the berries and you have all out rape of the poor berry....and the people's trust.
The guy is wrong, there is no aerial spraying happening anymore.
James Hubisz really???? We personally know a local man who aerial sprays. Ppl need to get their heads out of the sand and pay attention to what is going on in the food world.
Janette Lavender Yeah, I'm quite familiar with the blueberry industry in Maine and there is no aerial spraying in Maine. It's all done with tractor.
