A blueberry rake is a hand tool with a row of long metal tines and a boxed back, swung through low blueberry plants to comb the berries loose into the box. Hand raking remains part of the Maine wild blueberry harvest alongside mechanical harvesters, and raking demonstrations or contests turn up at blueberry festivals. The tool is instantly recognizable and specific to this crop.
Also known as: hand rake, blueberry scoop.
