This is a fantastic opportunity for individuals looking for flexible, temporary work that allows you to connect with nature, be part of a supportive team, and earn income while enjoying the fresh air and the natural beauty of the German countryside.
As a Fruit Picker, you will be an essential part of our operation, responsible for carefully harvesting various fruits by hand, ensuring each piece meets our rigorous quality standards. Your dedication ensures that only the finest quality produce makes it from the fields to our consumers, supporting local markets and communities. This role demands exceptional attention to detail, a strong work ethic, and the ability to work efficiently and consistently to meet daily targets. You’ll be working alongside experienced agricultural professionals who will provide comprehensive guidance, ensuring you understand best practices for picking, handling, and packing the fruits to maintain their pristine condition and maximize yield.

This temporary position offers a unique insight into the agricultural industry and is ideally suited for students, individuals seeking supplementary income, or anyone who values physical work outdoors and enjoys being part of a tangible, productive process. We pride ourselves on fostering a positive, inclusive, and encouraging work environment where everyone’s contribution is genuinely valued. The work can be physically demanding, requiring prolonged periods of standing, bending, and moderate lifting, often in varied weather conditions—from bright sunshine to cooler, damp days. However, the immense reward of seeing your hard work contribute directly to the local economy, the freshness of the produce, and the satisfaction of a job well done is truly fulfilling. We provide all necessary safety training, tools, and equipment to ensure your success and well-being on the job.
