Stockton ST is also known as US68/KY 80 and is the main highway to Glasgow. The store is open six days a week. Monday through Friday, 9am-5pmCT, and on Saturdays from 9am-3pmCT. The phone number is 270-432-2601. Larry Martin, Sr, President of the KBGA, said the new office is the first of two steps toward enlarging the market for blueberries. "We've already got plans to build a big warehouse nearby, on the lot where the IGA Supermarket stood before it was destroyed by fire..The warehouse would be a place for storage and processing of the berries, to make jellies and jams, and store frozen and freh berries. "It will have a certified kitchen, and it will allow us to take a giant step in adding value to our products. The association is a for profit C-Corporation, as well as an association. Since Larry Martin, Sr., came to Subtle in 1995, he's seen production grow and membership grow with it. Today, there are some 160 KGBA members, in many counties of Kentucky as well as some outside the state.The KGBA is working closely with the local industrial board to obtain financing for the project, and Martin feels confident that will come.Already, at the new office, customers can buy fresh frozen blueberries in 10 lb boxes for $30 dollars, or get 20 lbs for $60. There are also different sizes of blueberry plants, seeds, peat moss, and other blueberry related items. Information for new growers is also available.The Metcalfe County blueberry industry is the primary reason for the development of one of Kentucky's premier events, the Blueberry Festival, held each year at the height of the Metcalfe County blueberry harvest season.
