Our business is FRUIT GROWING and HARVESTING
Harvesting usually operates daily.
However, because of weather conditions which dictate
the abundance, duration and time of harvest there can
be no guarantee of work at any particular time so it
is essential to bring a return ticket home with you.
The dates shown are only a guide and
in some years the picking may vary by 2-3 weeks depending
on the weather.
Your pay depends in the weight of the
fruit that you harvest. It is a standard rate per kg,
paid to both local people as well as students and is
in accordance with the Agricultural Wages Board harvesting
rate of pay.
