∙ 12y agoOver 18,000 acres (~7,280 ha) of blueberries are grown in Michigan, the largest blueberry-producing state in the US. (Michigan State University blueberry information website)
Regardless of what real answer states below. Michigan, IMHO
Michigan produces the most blueberries. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, in 2009, the latest year figures are available, Michigan produced 99 million pounds, followed by Maine with 88.5 million pounds. Also, 49.5% (nearly half) of Michigan's blueberries are sold and eaten fresh, whereas only .6% of Maine's blueberries are sold and eaten fresh. The vast majority of Maine's bluberries - 99.4% - are processed into other foods (suggesting that the quality is not as suitable to be eaten fresh).
Real AnswerRegardless of the humble opinion above, the best state is Maine. They grow 25% of the world's blueberries in Maine. Blueberries do grow well in Michigan, but the question was the "best state".Additional info--we seem to be arguing about two different things. According to the internet websites, Michigan leads in the production of "highbush" blueberries (which are cultivated) and Maine leads in "wild" blueberries which are low bush. You can see the difference when you shop. Large light blue blueberries that you find in little boxes are highbush cultivated blueberries. Wild blueberries are smaller and are dark blue to dark redish purplish. However, even when you compare the two numbers of millions of pounds produced, Maine wild blueberries usually out number the Michigan cultivated blueberries each year. Sometimes it depends on the weather.
