As someone who grew up in Washington County, Maine, it's never occurred to me that most people probably don't know what a handheld rake is.
This county produces something like 90% of America's domestic blueberry crop, we are insane about blueberries here... That's how I made my money in the summers when I was a teenager. Up at dawn (which in Maine, during summer, is about 4am), go home when it starts getting dark (8pm). I put in 80 hour weeks some seasons. Didn't even bring a lunch pale because blueberries. Lost my appetite for blueberries pretty quick though, even my shit turned blue (seriously). Sometimes I miss those days.
