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 job with a bonus system. 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 a seasons bonus.
  • Work in a beautiful outdoor setting.
  • Finish early and have your afternoons free.
  • Join a social and supportive team atmosphere.
  • Accommodation available
