Since something different happens everyday and we continue to homeschool throughout harvest, I can't always get pictures in order of how things are really done. That's why I'm posting pictures according to task. Today a bit about what happens to all those cranberries once boomed. Booming was explained here.
The boom is continually tightened so the fruit is as close to the berry cleaner as possible. Those mini lochness monsters sticking out of the cranberries are really homemade water jets. A pump is used to push water through them. The force of the moving water pushes berries into the green elevating machine.
