Quincy Wall picks blueberries Friday morning with his grandparents at Sue’s Blues in Lewiston. This is the fourth year they have come to the field and look forward to making pies and muffins with what they pick. Owner Gerry Martineau and his wife, Sue, have been cultivating over 1,000 highbush blueberry bushes at the U-Pick field on Old Farm Road for the past 18 years. “We don’t use pesticides or chemicals of any kind, and we share with the birds and other wildlife so everyone gets their fair share. But when the bees come in to do their thing, I bug out,” he said. They opened for the season two weeks ago, but the bushes are still loaded with plenty of the plump, ripe and juicy berries.
