Blueberry Jam started in 2019 as an Outdoor Concert at Big Belle Farm, a 170-year-old heritage farm owned by Paul and Adele Meagher on Mabou Ridge, NS. The event, formed through a collaboration between Big Belle Farm and local-born musician, Rankin MacInnis, is a way to celebrate and promote both the wild blueberry industry of Cape Breton/Nova Scotia as well as the incredible music of the province.
