National Blueberry Month Toolkit


July is National Blueberry Month! Our marketing will highlight ways to promote and join in on the month-long celebration and capitalize on this moment to drive consumer interest and increase sales for blueberries across the board. To celebrate National Blueberry Month, we’re holding The Great Blueberry Recipe Showdown – enter your best blueberry recipe for a chance to win $10,000 and the opportunity to meet Milk Bar’s Christina Tosi, James Beard Award-winning pastry chef and tour the flagship Milk Bar’s bakery in NYC.

Handouts

We’ve created four print-ready resources: one tip sheet for consumers, one fresh and frozen tip sheet, a recipe contest postcard and one poster – all available for download below. Suitable for in-person handouts, sharing in stores, online content or messaging inspiration, each delivers fun facts and inspiration on how to celebrate National Blueberry Month all month long.
