Apple picker #40
I am finishing up a 7-week stint as an apple picker for a story I am researching about migrant workers.
This "bag" (equivalent to 3/4 quarters of a bushel and weighs about 45 lbs at its fullest) was my faithful companion during this time.
I was apple picker #40; who in the process got to meet some interesting folks, saw a part of the underbelly of the food industry and learned about the travails of those who bring fruit and vegs to our tables. In the process, I faced my fear of heights and was able to lose some weight. :)
