​Unfortunately it was not a great year for blueberry picking in Atlanta. The cause? Too much rain and too little sunshine --- according to the owner of my favorite blueberry farm. 

My friend, Tracy and I did manage to get to the farm early one Saturday morning in July and we each picked a bucket of berries. They were not nearly as plentiful as we have seen them in past years but we were happy to pick whatever was available.

I brought my fresh berries home and froze them in quart size Ziploc bags. Not long after we made that trip, I got an email saying that the blueberry farm was forced to close due to the lack of berries.

​I'm savoring my frozen berries and using them sparingly. (Only in recipes that are fresh picked blueberry worthy.) This recipe for Buttermilk Blueberry Coffee Cake is defiantly, fresh blueberry worthy.
