This One-Of-A-Kind Blueberry Farm In Maine Serves Up Fresh Homemade Pie To Die For

Maine does a lot of things right. Farms, nature trails, mountains, beaches and pie! In addition to that, we also have some of the most fun wacky attractions and oddities. The one we’re sharing with you today is certainly one of the most unique, but it also happens to be one of the most delicious. Of all the farms in Maine, this one takes the cake…err, pie!

There are plenty of farms to visit in Maine - especially as we get closer to the summer. But, Wild Blueberry Land in Columbia Falls is definitely one of our favorites.

One part farm, one part store and one part amusement park, this massive blueberry-shaped building on the side of the road offers more than you might think.

You can’t miss it while driving down Highway 1.

Wild Blueberry Land is the creation of Dell and Marie Emerson, who have been devoted to blueberries for more than 30 years!

In fact, Dell’s knowledge comes from the 53 years he spent working on the only wild blueberry research farm in America, located at the University of Maine.

Things here are delicious because Marie is an award-winning chef who has taught for 30 years in the Maine Community College system.

Their farmland is made up of nearly 160 acres above the Pleasant River known for Wild Atlantic Salmon.

And together, they’ve focused on preserving Maine’s commercially grown wild blueberry crops, which is one of the country’s last!

You can explore the land here, but we recommend you go inside to explore the store and the pies!

Everything on the outside is centered around the theme of blueberries, but inside you’ll find the actual blueberries.

The homegrown blueberries are sold inside, but they also become the key ingredient for pies, scones, muffins and jams.

And these pies are famous among those who know what the best blueberry pie should taste like!

You’ll even find candy, tea, coffee, ice cream, dog treats, salsa, vinegar and also condiments.

So, stop by and appreciate the quirkiness, but make sure you leave with a hearty slice of pie!

Wild Blueberry Land is located at 1067 US-1, Columbia Falls, Maine.They’re open every day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Learn all about their history and wonderful coming-to-be on their website. Or, visit them on Facebook. You can call them on 207-483-2583.

For more incredible pies, visit this restaurant in Belgrade. It might not be in your backyard, but it’s certainly worth the trip!
