When I was a kid, I made my walking around money by picking blueberries. 1948-53. Got 5 Cents a pint. Took 13 pints to fill a tray. 12 in the tray and no matter how high they were stacked, the 13th spread over the top! I made about $5 per day...Now? Now kids don't work because there is no work. I never thought a machine could take my place.....because it took awhile to get good at caressing the berries so only the ripe ones would fall in the basket.....this is the last picking....that's easy.....how is it on the first picking?

Those blueberries look so sweet I could make a pie from it.

Great video, thanks for posting. My students really enjoyed seeing how a machine can harvest blueberries. Hope you have many great seasons ahead.

Hi, Great videos. Do you sell 3 year old blueberry bushes of the Northern Highbush variety? We live in North Georgia (Zone 7) and are interested in starting a blueberry farm. Also would like to discuss consulting fees with you...

Great video! My family has a small farm in Texas. We started machine picking this week. I have a few questions.
When do you pick the berries? As the berries develop, wait to long and they are too big and soft, too early and pick too many greens. Any suggestions?
Also, when is the best time to pick during the day?
Thanks for all the videos they are very helpful to small farmers! -
I noticed quite a rough drop of the berries coming down on the chute, prior to getting dumped into the harvest lug. Do you grow for frozen 100% of your crop? Has the processing plant noticed any significant bruising on the berries upon receiving? Would this affect the price paid to you as farmers?

Yes, blueberry farmers pick with blueberry picking machines sometimes towards the end of the blueberry picking season because with BEI blueberry harvesters or even the Korvan blueberry harvesters they can save the berry farmers quite a bit since you can pick for about .26 cents per crate (12 pint blueberry crate) instead of paying the blueberry pickers $4.00 per crate so it can save quite a bit of money, if you would like us to do any consulting for you, give us a call at: (609) 561-5905

Some of our blueberry bush customers prefer a Korvan blueberry harvester but our family has been using BEI blueberry harvesters for years and have had a great experience with their customer service and support. As for spacing for blueberry pickers you need only have a 9' foot wide row between each blueberry bush and 2.5' feet between each blueberry bush, but if a blueberry grower intends to pick blueberries with the blueberry picking machine, then they must plant the blueberry field accordingly.

Yes, our DiMeo family feel that Americans should not depend on other sources of food, but should rather grow their own food and grow their own blueberries at home. Knowing your farmer and knowing where your food comes from is important. Many blueberries and other berries are sprayed with dangerous pesticides and chemicals that cause cancer. Growing blueberries organically will give you the best blueberries for your health and well being.
