Frequently Asked Questions

What does "no experience" mean for a farm job like this?

It means you do not need any prior professional farming or harvesting experience. We will provide all the necessary paid, on-the-job training to teach you how to pick fruit correctly and safely.

How does the "piece-rate" pay work?

You will always earn at least a guaranteed hourly base wage. The piece-rate is an incentive on top of that, where you can earn more money based on the amount of fruit you pick. The faster and more efficient you are, the more you can earn.

Is this a physically difficult job?

Yes, this is a very physically demanding job. It requires the ability to climb ladders, carry picking bags that can weigh up to 50 lbs, and work on your feet outdoors for a full shift.

What are the typical working hours?

The workday typically starts very early in the morning to take advantage of cooler temperatures. This is a full-time position, and some weekend work may be required during the peak harvest season.

Is this just a temporary, seasonal job, or can it be long-term?

We have both seasonal and permanent, year-round positions available. A successful seasonal worker can often transition to a permanent role by moving to our other crop harvests, providing stable, long-term employment.

What kind of benefits are offered?

We offer a strong benefits package that includes access to health and wellness programs, a 401(k) retirement plan with a company match, and paid time off.
