During the summer months, whenever I'm driving down Route 206 through Hammonton on my way down the shore, I have to stop and stock up on blueberries. There are so many local farm stands along that stretch where you can pull over and grab a fresh basket.

This area is known as the "Blueberry Capital of the World," and as you drive along, you'll notice blueberry fields everywhere you look and signs for fresh blueberries and blueberry pie. It's such a beautiful area of the state!
