OXFORD, NS (Canada)
Design 1B
Canadian pale & 3 blueberries
The single blueberry in Design 1A is stark and simple, but I thought some might prefer the look of a few more blueberries to show abundance (the reason why it is the wild blueberry “capital” of Canada). Three was a nice number to show without making the blueberries too small, while maintaining some sort of natural looking visual arrangement of the blueberries.

REFERENCE
Oxford, Nova Scotia, is a town 10.68 sq km (4.12 sq mi) in size, with about 1,200 people. Despite this small size and population, it is the world’s largest processor and distributor of individually quick frozen (IQF) wild blueberries! This is because it is centred in a large blueberry growing region, with Oxford Frozen Foods Ltd., a wild blueberry processor owned by local businessman John Bragg, processing up to three million pounds of berries a day during peak season! John owns the plant and over 12,000 acres of blueberry land in the area, with another 15,700 acres in the Acadian region of northern New Brunswick added in 2014. The town was founded in 1792, with the “Oxford” name derived from the shallow river that was used to enter the town, rather than having anything to do with Oxford in England. Early settlers used oxen to cross, or “ford”, the river, and thus derived the town’s Oxford name.
