Fruit Picking in Winter?

Heading in to the winter months, most fruit in New Zealand has been picked and orchards and vineyards move on to the jobs needed to prepare fruit trees and vines for their next lot of fruit.

You will read about pruning, wrapping and trimming. If you are curious to learn more about these types of roles and where there will be a demand for workers over the winter months, then head to Pick NZ’s website. It has quick summaries of all of the different types of work, both indoors and outdoors. There is a calendar and map of New Zealand that is quick and easy to follow.
