About this data
Cultivated (tame) blueberries. Wild blueberries, harvested mostly in Maine, are counted separately by NASS.
State and national figures come from NASS's annual estimates (final 2025 figures; in-season forecasts are not used). County figures and the county map come from the 2022 Census of Agriculture, the only source that covers every county. NASS withholds some figures, marked "withheld", to avoid disclosing data for individual farms.
