Congradulations you have found the best place to pick fruit in Central Otago.

From cherries to apricots, nectarines, peaches and finishing off with plums.  There will be plenty of picking and packing employment opportunities at Jerry's Cherries (Fairview orchard).  These positions will be with variety so if you can adapt well to change this may be the place for you!

Working with us will pretty much guarantee you a 30 hour working week (in the slow times) and as many as 60 in the busy times!  (And by the look of the massive crop these will be the busy times!!)   Our pay rates start at $23.95/hr + 8% holiday pay as you go + kiwisaver contributions, however if you are fast, reliable and easy going this may be increased.  We pick a lot of our crops on contract rates with some of our staff from last season earning as much as $38/hr on the good days!
