Description

Looking for summer work? Join our harvest team.

We're hiring pickers for the upcoming cherry season. This is a great opportunity to work outdoors, stay active, and earn money over the summer. It's physical work, but rewarding, perfect for those who love the outdoors.

About the Job:

  • You'll be harvesting cherries, working carefully to pick ripe fruit and fill buckets.

  • The work is outdoors, so you need to be prepared for all kinds of weather—sun, wind, or rain.

  • Days start early at 6:00 AM to make the most of the cooler morning hours.

  • This is a piece-rate position. Your pay is based on the amount of quality fruit you harvest, so your effort directly determines your earnings.

  • December or January start available

We're looking for people who:

  • Don't mind physical work and being on their feet all day.

  • Are reliable and have a good attitude, even with an early start.

  • Work well in a team but can also focus on their own task.

  • Want to earn good money for a season of work.

The perks:

  • Earn competitive piece rates.

  • Work in a beautiful outdoor setting.

  • Finish early and have your afternoons free.

  • Join a social and supportive team atmosphere.

  • Accommodation available
