What Does It Mean to be at Season's Peak
Every fruit and vegetable has its own special time of year when each bite is simply sweeter, juicier, tastier - that's when you know it's At Season's Peak. And that's when Publix partners with the most reputable, close-to-home growers in order to deliver it to you at its absolute height of freshness and flavor.
North Carolina is where blackberries and blueberries find just the right climate conditions to grow plump and juicy. The region's organic and acidic soil, combined with moderate winter temperatures and a water table that sits just below the ground's surface, makes a uniquely hospitable environment for these berries to flourish in the summertime.
And here's an interesting little tidbit about blueberries: In order for a blueberry blossom to be pollinated and produce a fruit, it must be visited at least 11 times by a bumble or honey bee.
