We pay on a piece rate per bin - (the more fruit you pick the more we pay you). You are paid for the number of bins picked.

 

Accommodation is available on the orchard. Regarding the room accommodation, you are required to bring your own bedding, pillow, cooking & eating utensils. The rooms contain beds & mattress only. (Shared accommodation - mainly 2 per room) Employees who live on the orchard will have the use of the communal kitchen, dining area & large communal refrigerator facilities.
