Job Description

From September 30, we are recruiting 4 blueberry and raspberry picking staff.
In addition, we will open one single room and one twin room for accommodation.

Our team has hourly-wage farms where the minimum hourly rate is guaranteed. However, you need to maintain the team’s average picking volume.
If you cannot meet the standard and are not hired, we can still arrange other hourly-wage or piece-rate farm jobs for you.

There are many farm jobs in this region, but the atmosphere and team culture differ greatly depending on the company.
It’s not unusual to hear people say after starting work: “I don’t even know who my contact person is” or “Nobody really cares about me.”
Some teams have high turnover because leaders cannot pay attention to everyone, and many workers quit within a short time.

In my team, however, even after collecting all the payslips required for the second-year visa, many members decide to stay longer because they enjoy the environment here.

Since the staff who started working from May–June have already finished collecting their payslips and are leaving, this recruitment is to fill those vacancies.
I only want to accept new people within the range that I can properly support.

Whether you can gain “good memories,” “valuable experiences,” and “a comfortable living environment” here depends on your own choice.

Please feel free to contact me.
I will carefully provide the latest local information and answer any questions.
Make sure you fully understand and are satisfied before deciding to join. ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️
