Yarborough Mentioned in Press Herald Article on Blueberry Branding
David Yarborough, a blueberry specialist with the University of Maine Cooperative Extension, was mentioned in a Portland Press Herald article about a three-day Blog the Barrens junket for social media users in an effort to promote wild blueberries. The event was sponsored by the Wild Blueberry Association of North America and included a tour of the Wyman processing plants, a visit to Cherryfield Foods’ barrens and a lesson in raking at Merrill Blueberry Farms. In an attempt to raise awareness about the berry, Yarborough was on hand to offer information, such as the fact that 3 million varieties of wild blueberries grow in Maine.
