You must be planning on using it for jelly or the like. The seeds in Gaylussacia are large enough to be objectionable, especially compared to blueberries. I grew some once and decided they weren't worth it for anything that wasn't processed to remove the seeds. Salal was more interesting as a wild berry and had small seeds like a blueberry.

I want to purchase some Black Huckleberry (Gaylussacia baccata) that are
recommended for zones 3 or 4. Would someone please steer me toward someone
who sells them. Botannical references indicate that they occur, in the
wild, as far Northwest as Wisconsin. Thanks.
