Strawberry Pickers
We are looking for enthusiastic seasonal workers for open strawberry picking on a small strawberry and meat farm in Central Finland for the summer season 2024.
We are looking for seasonal workers for open strawberry picking on a small strawberry and meat farm in Saarijärvi, Central Finland, for the summer season 2024. The farm produces clean and delicious berries and you can enjoy a real country atmosphere with our animals too.
You will have the opportunity to work flexibly on the farm. Already in June, for about a week, there is a plucking job available for a few people. The strawberry harvest season is expected to start in early July and continue until mid-August. The length of the working day varies according to the stage of the harvest and the weather conditions, with an average of 6 to 7 hours per day. You also have the option of agreeing to shorter periods of work, for example for two weeks. In addition to picking, the work may also involve packing strawberries.
To communicate with the team, you have to speak Finnish or English at a level where you can manage in everyday work. The summer season is a tight rush, where teamwork is emphasised and everyone helps each other.
You do not need to have previous experience of working with berries, but it is an advantage if you have previously done similar tasks or have some level of familiarity with agriculture. Picking is a job where you are constantly on the move and precision is required. You will do best if you are physically fit and have nimble fingers.
As far as pay is concerned, we follow the Collective Agreement for Rural Industries. During the main harvest period, we pay a contract wage if the picking rate is met. We will also help you find accommodation in the local area if necessary.
