Due to COVID19 measures a local farmer near Woodbridge is in dire need of local pickers to protect this harvest.

Start around 10th April and to conclude around June 20th. The crop is very temperature dependent and keeps going whilst the temperature is over 10 degrees.

There are 2 sites needing harvesting teams, one East of Ipswich, one Woodbridge and Saxmundham.

Pickers need their own transport to get to the fields. The day starts at 6am and is a 12hr picking day, with an hour total break, 7 days a week. Pickers need to provide their own food for lunch water to keep hydrated.

Pay is over the National Living wage (incl. bonus) with a bonus for those who stay for the whole of the season. There are days off and rest days.
