We’re an organization of people passionate about growing blueberries and dedicated to helping more people enjoy their favorite berry in all its forms – fresh, frozen, dried, canned and more. It’s our pleasure to help you grab a boost of blue every day!

Who We Are

The U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council (USHBC) is a grower-driven organization working to be the global leader in knowledge, programs and resources used and shared by the blueberry industry. We support the domestic and international farmers who have a passion for growing the delicious and high-quality blueberries that inspire you to grab a boost of blue. Through collaboration and innovation, USBHC is moving our industry forward to bring you the best quality fruit and share the endless possibilities of blueberries.

The Reason We’re Here

Simple, healthy and delicious, blueberries are native to North America and enjoyed around the world. Wherever you are, you can always grab a boost of blue – because every season is blueberry season. Fresh blueberries are available year-round (thanks to growers in both North and South America), along with frozen, dried, canned and all the other equally tasty forms of blueberries.


Blueberries are also a good source of fiber and Vitamin C, among other vitamins and minerals, and are certified as heart healthy by the American Heart Association®.

Spreading the Goodness of Blueberries

Every day, USHBC works with:

  • Blueberry growers, marketers and exporters across North America;
  • Agricultural organizations, governmental and regulatory bodies, and other industry experts around the nation; 
  • Health researchers contributing to our library of peer-reviewed, blueberry-focused research;
  • Dietitians and other health professionals helping to share those insights with patients and everyday shoppers seeking healthy solutions to daily needs;
  • Trend-setting chefs representing high-volume restaurant operations to local hotspots.

Together, USHBC and our partners reinforce the versatility and other benefits of blueberries and extend our industry reach, helping more people near and far get a uniquely delicious boost of blue.
