Nature’s BERRY Best: Wild Maine Blueberries & Our Limited-Time Summer Specials

Founding Farmers is celebrating summer with the best blueberry specials around, featuring nature’s berry best: fresh, wild Maine blueberries. These aren’t your ordinary blueberries – they’re one of only three fruits native to North America, harvested from the fertile Maine coast where they’ve grown naturally for over 10,000 years. 

Why Wild Maine Blueberries Are Nature’s Superfruit 

Wild Maine blueberries pack a powerful punch in a petite package. These smaller, more flavorful berries deliver an intense taste that ranges from tangy to sweet, with significantly higher antioxidant concentrations than cultivated blueberries. Every bite bursts with more concentrated flavor because wild berries naturally develop deeper, more complex taste profiles. 

We source these extraordinary berries exclusively from Merrill Blueberry Farms, a four-generation family operation that’s been harvesting wild blueberries along Hancock, Maine’s pristine coastline since 1925. When you taste the difference, you’ll understand why wild Maine blueberries are the best choice for summer breakfast, brunch, and dessert. 

Limited-Time Blueberry Specials: July 15 – September 18 

Available for breakfast, brunch, and dessert at all Founding Farmers locations.* 

Scratch-Made Blueberry Pie with House-Churned Vanilla Ice Cream 

Our signature blueberry pie showcases wild Maine blueberries at their finest. We start with a homemade buttery, flaky crust, fill it with flavor-packed wild berries, and serve each slice alongside a scoop of our house-churned vanilla ice cream. A must-try blueberry dessert for summer. *Please Note: Our whole cakes and pies require a 36-hour lead time when ordering online. 

Blueberry Jefferson Donut 

This isn’t your average donut. We craft each one using our signature buttery croissant dough, then fill it with rich vanilla pastry cream and homemade wild Maine blueberry jam. Topped with vanilla glaze and festive red, white, and blue sprinkles, it’s a blueberry breakfast treat made for summer brunch. 

*The Blueberry Jefferson Donut is only available at Founding Farmers & Distillers, Founding Farmers Reston, Founding Farmers Tysons, Founding Farmers Alexandria, and Founding Farmers King of Prussia.

Blueberry Crumble Ice Cream & Blueberry Crumble Ice Cream Sundae 

Our house-churned lemon buttermilk ice cream gets the royal treatment with generous swirls of homemade wild blueberry jam and crunchy masa crumble. Available as single or double scoops in a chalice or our house-made waffle cone.  

For the ultimate indulgence, try our Blueberry Crumble Sundae – four scoops stacked pyramid-style, topped with blueberry compote and extra masa crumble.
