Cold and wet... The life of a strawberry picker

Picking strawberries is sooo much fun!! you get down on your hands and knees and fill five quart pails with strawberries, in the cold wet plants. when you pick you need to be prepared to get wet from you toes to your hips, and from your fingers to your elbows. somtimes there is even frost on the plants, so by the end of the first hour your hands are so cold that you cant get them out of the grasping-strawberries position. but i have made fifty bucks in two days doing it, so it is not like it isnt worth it or anything. we pick at the red cedar valley farms, so the stawberies are prime quality... much, much, much, much, much better than those processed, rubber, unripe, molding, poor excuses for starwberries that wal-mart sells. so even though it s a rough job, it pays to get wet... quite well... 2.50 a pail... ten pails a day... six days a week...
