We are looking for fit, mobile, positive, hard-working people to join our picking team for our 2025 harvest. Situated in the beautiful Waikato, you will be working 6 days a week, 8.30am – 4pm, weather dependent.
We pick from around the start of June to the start of August (end date dependent on the size of the harvest); you are welcome to join at any time.
No experience is required as all training takes place onsite, but you do need to be physically fit and healthy. If you stay on-site you will need to have your own transport to get groceries. There is a Four Square 20 mins away in Ngatea, and a Countdown and New World in Morrinsville, which is 30 mins away from the orchard.
We enjoy building a strong team for this job, it’s hard outdoors physical work, but we like to have fun with it and to have a group that enjoys each other’s company. Many of the past seasons harvest teams stay in touch and have fond memories of working here.
If you require accommodation, we have a self-contained cabin available for rent during the harvest. This modern cottage features a kitchenette, bedroom for one or 2 people (singles or couples) and bathroom with a shower and own toilet, This cabin is $350 per week.
