Van Veldhuizen’s personal favorite variety is the Sparkler.

“They’re a little sweeter, but they’re smaller and a little harder to pick.”

She said it usually takes about 30 minutes for a person to fill an ice cream bucket-size container, but pickers’ habits vary.

“Some people pick slowly and inspect every berry, and others just hurry up and fill the bucket.”
