Wild Blueberry Land

MEET DELL AND MARIE EMERSON
Our lives have revolved around the blueberry industry. Dell is the farmer’s farmer, having worked at the University of Maine for 53 years on the only Wild Blueberry research farm in the U.S. Marie, a certified and award-winning chef, has taught in the Maine Community College System for 30 years. With a dedication to saving small farms and preserving the environment, we built Wild Blueberry Land in 2001. It stands as an homage for value-added products and the future success of small-family farming.

Our farm, Wild Wescogus Berries (a Passamaquoddy name translated to “above the water”), is located in beautiful Downeast Maine, one of the last undeveloped areas on the U.S. East Coast. Our farm overlooks tidal Pleasant River, and Acadia National Park’s Cadillac Mountain serves as a pristine backdrop.
