The Bear Lake Valley has many aspects that people come to enjoy. First, the awesome and beautiful waters of the lake bring recreators and tourists alike. The picture on the right demonstrates the amazing beauty of the lake.
But Chad's focuses on the second most popular aspect of Bear Lake: raspberries! We grow our own! We planted four acres of berries and purchased a mechanical harvester to fill our needs in our raspberry products. In 2006, we began to harvest our field with the picker, having moderate success in doing so. By working out the bugs in the winter of 2007 that we encountered in the 2006 season, we are now using the picker at full scale production, picking nearly one-half ton of raspberries almost every picking in only three hours. The berries are then picked through and cleaned on a stainless steel table, bucketed, and frozen for storage and later use in our product. |
