Marjanpoimija - Marjatila Koivula - Kouvola, Finland

Energetic berry pickers are sought for a berry farm. The product to be collected is the saskatoon berry, which grows on high bushes that can be harvested while standing. Therefore, picking does not require constant squatting like strawberry picking! Work begins around July-August, and working hours are approximately 6 hours per day by agreement. The duration of the work is as long as the harvest lasts, estimated to be about three to four weeks. Payment is based on the kilograms collected, so a hardworking picker can certainly achieve good hourly earnings. Finnish language skills are not required; a positive attitude is sufficient. The work is for persons permanently residing in Finland. 15-year-olds may also apply with their parents' permission. The employer does not provide accommodation on the farm; it must be arranged independently. Contacts: Mikko Sjöblom, tel. 040 527 0151 or by email sale.marketing@salemarketing.fi.
