A Night in the Life of a Cherry Picker


Reilly and I started work at Cherry Bay Orchards this week. We have been working the night shift and amazingly it has been way more fun than I ever imagined it would be. Here is a brief illustration of events throughout the 12 hour shift. Enjoy!! and be thankful you are sleeping right now.


The Cooling Pad


Reilly doing routine maintenance on the trucks- What a HUNK!





The trucks come from the orchard with 8 tanks full of
beautiful cherries... Now the REAL work begins.




Flushing water to clean the cherries



Weighing and Grading Cherries




Yes folks, Rachael drives a forklift... Bet you thought pigs would fly before this day would come.



When we aren't busy, the real fun begins 'behind the scenes'



Things get a little loopy around 3 a.m.
