Work Conditions
Fruit Picking is quite physical, involving ladder-climbing, and often the weather is very warm.
We prefer to employ pairs of workers to single people. All aspects of accommodation, work routines and fruit bins are worked out around pairs of people.
Pickers are placed in groups or "gangs" of approx 15 to 20. The "ganger" in charge of that group trains and helps pickers in the correct picking technique and keeps their bin tallies.
