Blueberry Picking at Lac Saint-Jean


Top photo: The famous Lac St-Jean blueberries are harvested by hand with machines like this. Tines pull off the blueberries without harming the vines.

Bottom photo: This inviting yard full of giant papier-mache blueberries was a mandatory photo opportunity for passing cyclists.

If you visit Lac St-Jean in late July or early August, check out the chocolate-covered fresh blueberries made by the monks of Mistassini, and the delicious blueberry candy made in the village of La Doré.
