During Maine's wild blueberry season,
0:02
hand harvesters don't live at home. They
0:05
stay in temporary housing in the fields
0:07
called the Barrens.
0:09
The Passamaquoddy Wild Blueberry Company
0:11
houses 150 of these rakers, many from
0:14
Canada. They'll live here for about a
0:16
month during the harvest season.
0:18
>> So, this is where kids like to hang out.
0:20
This is where you can get good signal.
0:22
>> Stephanie Bailey supervises this camp.
0:25
While the cabins come as empty rooms
0:26
with a few bunk beds, she's tricked hers
0:28
out.
0:29
>> We have a wall up in here, so it
0:32
we're lucky.
0:33
>> She has a small kitchen.
0:35
>> My husband built a little shelf in here,
0:37
so I can have a little stove. So, I
0:40
guess my my cabin would be a little
0:42
bougie.
0:44
I always tell the campers, if you need
0:46
anything, like come and see me, if it's
0:48
sugar anything.
0:50
>> There's no running water in the cabins.
0:53
>> This is my little bowl for washing my
0:55
hands.
0:56
>> And there's no AC, so Stephanie brings
0:59
her own.
1:00
>> That's why we got the blanket door.
1:02
Yeah, so the AC actually helps big time.
1:05
Mine's probably the most like homey
1:07
because I bring my grandsons with me,
1:10
too.
1:10
>> The campground has a communal kitchen,
1:12
>> [music]
1:13
>> when we do the potlucks on Thursday,
1:14
yeah, everybody will be cooking.
1:16
>> a dining hall,
1:18
>> So, they had a birthday party in here
1:19
last night.
1:21
>> showers, [music] bathrooms, and a
1:23
laundry room.
1:24
>> At home, these people are more
1:25
sheltered, and they use their devices,
1:27
and they're on their TVs, and they don't
1:29
visit each other anymore. Like, when I
1:30
was little, everybody visited everybody.
1:33
So, this reminds me of being little.
1:35
It's like nostalgia.
1:36
>> Despite the heat and the hard work, the
1:38
community spirit of this camp draws
1:40
people back season after season.
1:43
>> Our relatives, Micmac relatives, they
1:45
come every year, so we get to see people
1:47
every year.
1:48
>> And this is Priscilla and her family.
1:50
They've been coming to the Barrens for
1:52
over 30 years.
1:54
This is MJ. How long have you been
1:55
coming out here?
1:56
>> Since I've been 2 years old.
1:59
And I'm 45.
2:01
>> Almost everyone in this camp is
2:02
indigenous and berries have been vital
2:05
to their tribes for millennia.
2:06
>> We're earth people. Passamaquoddy,
2:09
Eskasoni,
2:10
Micmac, or Penobscot.
2:13
We're all related like our languages
2:15
will sound similar.
2:16
>> All a big family. We don't know each
2:18
other, you're still family.
2:20
>> This way of life is dying out. Machines
2:23
have largely replaced hand harvesters.
2:25
>> [music]
2:25
>> The Passamaquoddy Wild Blueberry Company
2:27
once ran five of these campsites. Now
2:30
it's down to two.
2:32
>> I think someday this will be gone. Going
2:34
to be replaced by machinery.
2:36
>> Even though it's hot and sweaty and
2:38
whatever, it's still it's [music] it's
2:40
just a good time.
2:42
>> It's everyone's heart.
2:44
>> Basically, yeah.
2:45
>> Mhm.
2:45
>> Yeah. Doesn't matter what color or tribe
2:49
or culture or anything.
2:50
>> Mhm.
2:51
>> Doesn't matter how you're shaped. Like
2:53
me, I don't mind.
2:54
>> [laughter]
