8A Daily News – Tuesday, May 21, 2013 Blueberries are ripe for the picking at Corning farm Hansen's Blueberries in Corning are ripe and picking is available now until whenever they run out. Richard and his wife Anna Lee planted the berries as a lark in 1997, and now have people coming from Sacramento, Roseville, Eureka and Fairfield for a chance to pick or harvest their own. The business is open from 7 a.m. to noon, but it is best to call ahead at 530824-2331. From Corning exit at South Avenue, turn right onto Houghton for 1.5 miles. Tehama Together has developed a list of all the U Pick opportunities in Tehama County and has it available for distribution. If you would like the list or know of other crops not on it, call 5272223 or send an email to info@tehamatogether.org. Tehama Together has been working on this project, as part of the Food Policy Council. Blueberries have manganese, vitamins C and K and are low in fat. They also have antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Botanists estimate that blueberries burst on the scene 13,000 years ago. They are indigenous to North America and used by the Native Americans for food and medicine.
