    15 minute ride behind my house to the blueberry fields

    Blueberries in Maine peak in August.

    Quick ride up to catch sunset on the 500.

    It's a tough ride kinda at times, steep and Rocky sections, and a brutal logged sections with down trees , but some dirt roads. It's an adventure.

    I'd love to have a ride day where you nesr friends come rip but I'm pretty far out there. Can be boring riding solo.

    I have a few wild blueberry farms near me, my kids used to rake when they were teenagers, but now it seems to be beneath the local teens, a couple years ago, my daughter found herself "between jobs" so she raked for the season, made good $$, over $1k/wk, all the other blueberry pickers were Haitians

    Where I live the fauna is basically blueberries, the fields just work to maintain it

    I made $60 a week picking blueberries from 7:00am-4:00pm in middle school. Fuckin rip off. Lowbush wild berries too, raking the whole time.

    Yes, it was below me.

    Mark & Lisa use to make that in a day, were you getting paid by the pound ?

    now, either the picking is mechanical, or by migrant workers
