Описание: This video demonstrates how fresh figs are harvested and packed in a packinghouse.

This video was taken at J. Marchini Farms in Le Grand, California, and demonstrates how fresh figs are hand harvested into buckets in the field. The harvested product is then transported to the packinghouse to be graded, sorted and packed.
