Strawberries are grown in special troughs, which enable the fruit to be picked in a standing position and thus eliminate the problem of bending over. Picking fruit can be rewarding and is certainly a great stress reliever. It is a combination of many skills, from physical work, mental work, as well as getting used to unusual working hours.
