Mainer here! This is what a blueberry barren looks like. Wild blueberries can be transplanted, but its very difficult. My in-laws are in the process of turning their back field into a barren, and basically you just encourage the wild plants to spread by giving them optimal conditions until you have as many plants as you want. Large farms can take a long time to get established, which is why wild blueberries are so expensive.
It isn't unusual to find a field full of blueberries in the middle of the woods that grew naturally. Just watch out for bears!

that is a rather large field of "wild" blueberries.
