Are your buyers likely to want a quantity of fruit to bottle, or just
a quart basket to eat as they drive?
I went to a US orchard, probably in Oregon, and bought cherries. It
was so long ago I can't remember whether it was U-Pick or not. What
I will always remember is the nailbelt that punched the stones out of
a big bucketful of cherries spread out on a surface with dimples and
holes. What a timesaver!
