August marks the start of the Blueberry Season in Nova Scotia. At Acadian Maple we have a variety of blueberry products made with Nova Scotian Wild Blueberries. These recipes all use our Nova Scotian Wild Pure Blueberry Juice, which we sell in 1L and 375ml bottles. We also sell 4lb boxes of frozen wild Nova Scotian blueberries in our retail shop for $12.95.
