Crouched amid rows of lush raspberry canes, a worker tends to the harvest in a carefully managed polytunnel. Orange plastic harvest crates stand stacked and ready, their perforated sides allowing airflow to preserve the delicate fruit. The curved greenhouse structure creates a controlled microclimate, protecting the raspberry plants from external weather variations and extending the growing season. Soft sandy ground beneath the crates suggests recent cultivation, while the verdant green foliage creates a vibrant backdrop of productivity. The worker, dressed in a black jacket and checked headscarf, is positioned low to carefully select and collect the ripe raspberries, embodying the meticulous attention to detail required in precision horticulture. This scene captures the essence of modern small-scale agricultural production in Victoria's Gippsland region - a blend of careful cultivation, technological intervention, and manual skill that transforms delicate fruit from vine to market.
