High Springs, Florida | Funny, we live in a country of nearly 325,000,000 people, and folks are asking, "Who are you going to find to pick all those strawberries, on 3 acres?"
Back in the late '60's up in ne Ohio, no problem finding folks to pick grapes by hand, strawberries, peaches, etc. Population was around 200 million back then.
As kids we couldn't wait for Mr. Vernick to dig his potatoes and pay us 50 cents a lug to pick them up. Same with the grapes. My mother, all my aunts, neighborhood women couldn't wait to get out in the vineyards and make some extra cash. |
