The job
Workers will perform advanced orchard and vineyard maintenance, including pruning fruit trees and grapevines, tying, training, shoot removal, and pre- and post-harvest crop input handling. At least three (3) months of prior experience performing similar agricultural duties is required to ensure workers can independently perform these advanced tasks, safely operate equipment, and meet established production standards without training, consistent with a Skill Level II position. Workers must be skilled in operating and driving farm machinery for cultivation, spraying, hazardous material handling, and/or data entry and recordkeeping. Duties may include harvest, sorting, and quality control of fruit and vegetables, and maintaining harvest performance standards (10-bushel fruit bags or 400 lbs of grapes per hour). During non-harvest periods, experienced workers may assist with on-farm construction, repair, and maintenance directly related to crop production. These tasks include installing or repairing trellises, irrigation systems, fencing, shade structures, and field equipment. Workers may also support farm-level implementation of ecological services, including erosion-mitigation and soil-stabilization projects such as grading, berm construction, drainage improvements, and planting erosion-control cover crops. Additional responsibilities may include supervising or performing the cleaning and sanitization of farm equipment, storage and processing areas, bathrooms, and worker living spaces, using approved cleaning agents and ensuring compliance with food safety and workplace hygiene standards. Other specialized tasks may include beekeeping and honey extraction, as well as assisting with poultry production and processing activities during warmer months, including care, feeding, and egg collection. Qualified workers may operate farm vehicles or trucks to transport crops, equipment, and inputs between employer-owned orchards, storage areas, and affiliated processing locations. At least three (3) months of prior experience performing similar agricultural duties is required. The employer will provide no training.
Housing: Employer-provided (including mobile or range)
Meals: The employer does not provide meals unless a worker is rehoused in a temporary location with no cooking facilities due to COVID or other circumstances beyond the employer's control. In this case, Section E.1 Provision of Meals will apply. Employer-provided housing includes free and convenient cooking and kitchen facilities with appropriate equipment, appliances, cooking accessories, and dishwashing facilities for meal preparation. For workers residing in employer-provided housing, the employer also provides free transportation once weekly to/from the closest town or city for personal errands (e.g., groceries, banking services, etc.). All workers share dining, kitchen/cooking facilities, and other common areas. If kitchen facilities become unavailable during the contract period, the employer will provide three daily meals per 20 CFR 655.122(g).
Transport: The employer will provide or pay for inbound and outbound transportation by commercial bus service or chartered vans, daily subsistence, and, where necessary, lodging when traveling to and from the employer's location.
