Where and when to work
The harvest season follows on from thinning with summer fruit (cherries, nectarines, plums, apricots and peaches). Fewer staff are required at this time (January) as a smaller quantity of summerfruit is produced compared to pipfruit. Many more jobs are available in February as the apple (pipfruit) harvest gets into full swing. The Kiwifruit season follows the apple harvest in late April / May.
