Synopsis Of The Irresistible Blueberry Farm On Hallmark Movies And Mysteries
When her grandmother dies, Ellen Branford, a hot shot Manhattan attorney, has to complete her grandmother’s dying wish, which is to deliver a letter to a man in Beacon, a small coastal town in Maine. It’s a strange request, but something Ellen must do for her grandmother Ruth, a woman who had a great impact on her life and one who continues to guide her even after her death.

With the letter in hand, Ellen packs her bags and heads for Beacon to find the man who owns a Blueberry farm. When she arrives, she is attracted to a beautiful pier that leads to the water. It is there that she decides to snap some photos. But while attempting to get the shot, Ellen falls into the water and is swept out to sea. Her life is saved when a handsome stranger named Roy jumps into the water to rescue her.

Ellen thanks the handsome savior but is appalled and surprised when the local newspaper, The Beacon Bugle, prints a front page headline with a photo of her locked in an embrace with the man who saved her. Back home, Ellen is engaged to a powerful attorney, and she wouldn’t want him to get the wrong impression. What Ellen doesn’t realize is that the seeds of love between Ellen and Roy have already been planted.

Meanwhile, Ellen is back on her feet and determined to find Chet Cumberfield, the man who owns the blueberry farm. During her journey, she happens upon an old photo, and to her surprise, she recognizes the woman as her grandmother.

Now, the mystery deepens, and Ellen desperately searches for answers. Soon she learns that the town of Beacon holds a great family secret, one that involves her grandmother and her long lost love.
