Alaska Native peoples have foraged wild blueberries for millennia, and the picking tradition continues each July and August. Today the berries appear at Anchorage and Spenard farmers markets, in Sweet Caribou macarons and in pies baked at Fire Island Rustic Bakeshop. The bog blueberry (Vaccinium uliginosum) and the alpine blueberry are the two canonical Alaska species, both far smaller and more intense than commercial Maine or Michigan stock.
