Florida Blueberry Festival is a hit in 2014
The Florida Blueberry Festival in Brooksville, Florida is a great place to taste blueberries in their many glorious forms. Vendors from around the state compete to show guests all the wonderful ways you can enjoy the Florida blueberry. From blueberry honey to blueberry shortcake, there is no shortage of food and fun. One fan shared how they used blueberries with Channel 13, “I use blueberries in pancakes, blueberry vinaigrette and blueberry smoothies.”
