berry farming

Growing small fruits

Berry farming is the agricultural cultivation of berry crops—strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and similar fruits.

The work is labor-intensive, as most berries bruise easily and require hand-picking: She spent summers working on a berry farm in Oregon.

Berry farming ranges from small u-pick operations to large commercial enterprises.
