Blueberry Capital


Sender: Purpleferret
Oxford, Nova Scotia, Canada

Text on card: The first European to build his log cabin at the end of the River Phillip was Richard Thompson and his family in 1792. The power from the river soon provided the energy for saw mills, grist mills, textile mills and foundries that became the mainstay of the thriving town of Oxford. As these industries started to decline, the low bush blueberry fields of Cumberland County slowly gained importance. No matter what season you visit, you will be captivated by the beauty of these delicate Cumberland jewels. Whether you find a spring field of bell-shaped blossoms, a late summer's ripened harvest, or fall's scarlet hues, you will come to see why Oxford has become known as the Blueberry Capital of Canada.
