I bet… Maine — blueberry pie country!
2Answer
The real order is…
Washington grows about 1.3× as many cultivated blueberries as #2 Oregon!
📚 BackgroundYou'd guess Maine, right? But Maine's famous blueberries are wild. For the cultivated blueberries in grocery stores, Washington grows the most — long rows of bushes love the mild, rainy Pacific Northwest.(USDA NASS Quick Stats)
Most: Washington (207,000,000 pounds); least of this top group: Florida (29,500,000 pounds).
Note: measured in pounds. Maine's wild (lowbush) blueberries are counted separately, so they aren't in this cultivated ranking. Only the top states are shown; ranks can shift between years. Only the top states are shown here — smaller producers (and states USDA doesn't publish) aren't listed.
