We’re excited about the ripe, red raspberries this year!

The cool, moist spring delayed the full swing of harvest until after the fourth, but now we’re having sunny 70 degree days with a light breeze and cool nights which are perfect for harvesting berries.

We started with five mechanical harvesters on day one in our first year fields – the ones being picked for the first time. First year fields always ripen first.

The first few days of harvest are always about training new personnel. Sure, we spend time training pre-harvest, but the bulk of the learning is done in the fields.

Good work Rader Team!
