About the Role
We have a range of agricultural work available across the Ashburton district; one day, you may spray weeds, and the next, you'll be helping prep a field for harvest. With so much variety, there won't be time to get bored!
Working in a team of four to 15, you'll undertake various duties depending on the season related to all types of arable and vegetable crops and bulbs.
