• Despite being a 7 day/week operation, you will still get time off on wet days! (we can't harvest wet fruit).
• Weather permitting, we generally work from 8am to 2pm meaning you can enjoy your summer afternoons.
• Piece-rate pay; The harder you work, the more you get paid! Some of our regular workers can earn up to $50/hr!!!
• Variety of work; if fieldwork isn't for you, we have shed based processing roles, retail roles or general labouring available (limited).
• We shut down for the 25th & 26th Dec as well as the 1st & 2nd Jan; so you won't miss Christmas or New Years celebrations with friends and family!
• Above all else, with the available work hours and piece-rate pay system, there is the opportunity for you to earn/save some serious cash over your summer holiday!

For particular situations there is camping available onsite in your own van, we have a toilet your welcome to use but no showers. 

The role will likely begin with picking fruit. Depending on people’s capabilities, competence etc., we do have other roles available, but these can be discussed once you have some experience picking.
