Cherry / Blueberry Picking Guide
农场都prefer现金，不确定今年由于疫情的关系会不会改为无接触刷卡支付，最好还是备着。往年樱桃的单价大约是3-5美元一磅，小编亲测摘满2大桶也就几十块钱。一个家庭带个200左右的现金（最好是10-20零钱bill）就够啦~
????You can consider picking with gloves, do n’t eat directly
Before going to the cherry farm, a lot of friends were picking and eating, try to see which tree is the sweetest. During the epidemic, there is no guarantee that the fruit you picked has not been touched by others. The editor believes that it is best not to put it in your mouth before washing. If picking with gloves, remember not to touch your face and rub your eyes ~
????Do a good job of sun protection, wear a hat and sunglasses, and bring a spare mask
Although the temperature in the Bay Area is comfortable, it is still easy to get sunburned if exposed to the sun for a long time. Most parts of the farm are completely unobstructed and can't stand it for a few hours. The epidemic is not over, and it is best to prepare a few more masks. It is easy to sweat when the weather is hot. You may need to change the mask ~
????Comfortable and clean shoes + disinfectant hand sanitizer
The farm is all muddy soil, and you may accidentally step on the mud when walking. Don't wear white shoes as silly as I did for the first time ~
During the epidemic, try to bring disinfection wipes and disinfection hand sanitizer. On the farm, you ca n’t avoid touching things that others have touched (such as toilet doors and hand washing stations). Especially if you take children with you, you must bring your own. Disinfection protective equipment.
The farm only sells water at the entrance (the price is still very expensive), remember to bring a few more bottles in the car. The cherry orchard is also some distance away from the parking lot and can only be walked. When entering the orchard, remember to carry two bottles on your body.
????Take more picking buckets at the door
When you quickly pick up a bucket, you do n’t want to go back to the entrance and get another bucket. (Remember to clean the handles of the picking bucket with disinfectant wipes)
????Want to pick better, go to the back of the farm
If the front is almost picked, don't force yourself to pick the small cherries that are not ripe. The cherries are big and red as they go to the back.
If you decide to pick cherries????.
Be sure to call ahead to confirm the door opening information
And prepare yourself and your family for protection ~
I hope you all have fun, safe and healthy.
