fruit picking
Gathering ripe produce
Fruit picking is the harvesting of fruit from trees, bushes, or vines, whether as agricultural labor or recreational activity.
Pick-your-own farms invite visitors to gather their own strawberries, apples, or peaches: We went fruit picking at an orchard upstate.
The work is seasonal and physically demanding, often performed by migrant laborers.
