Orchard management isn’t just a job, nor is it really just a career, it’s a way of life. You live it, you breathe, and it consumes you whole. Managing orchards definitely isn’t the easiest work I’ve ever done, but I do feel it down to my core. You’re the first one onsite every morning, the last one to leave each night, you tend and care for your clients orchards as if they were your own. When you’re not working alongside staff on the orchard, there’s timesheets, invoices, spray diary entries, GAP, tracking budgets, ensuring targets are being met, all while motivating an entire team of people and yourself. I haven’t experienced a season yet where blood, sweat and tears weren’t shed in the making of a crop. Managing orchards gives me a fire in my belly that I can’t quite explain. It’s an addiction to do better and to be better as each season goes by. It forces you to learn and adapt and sometimes question everything you think you know about growing. It’s a competition against yourself and those around you to grow the best quality crop, achieve the lowest reject rates, achieve the highest TZG, earn your growers the best possible OGR’s, and to be the best manager there is. Not long to go now till I get to see my beauties in a box 🥝 #Trevelyans #Trevelyansmanagedorchards #orchardmanagement #kiwifruit

Fruit Picker Jobs Opportunities: Requirements and How to Acquire it https://ift.tt/2qLFHjb Want to get paid working outdoors? Fruit picking jobs let you do just that – make decent cash harvesting delicious stuff from apple orchards to berry farms. Let’s explore these sweet gigs… What’s the Job Like? Spending days out in nature’s sunshine picking bounties of fruits is pretty dang awesome. But it does mean getting a solid farm workout in! You’ll be on your feet for hours carrying heavy baskets, climbing ladders, bending, twisting and moving quickly not to slow coworkers down. Pace yourself and stretch so you don’t get overheated. Stay hydrated too! The fruits you’ll pick depends on the harvest season and region. Apples, oranges, grapes, strawberries, blueberries and more all need plucking at peak ripeness then gentle handling so they arrive to grocery stores unbruised for us to munch on. Yum! What Skills Are Needed? Sure you need to be able to lift, squat and not mind dirt under your fingernails. But people skills are just as vital! Communicating with supervisors so you understand which fruits get picked when and where requires listening carefully. Work ethic is key too – push through when stacks of crop feel endless and fatigue sets in. Know that farmers depend on committed pickers so food doesn’t go to waste. When in doubt, ask questions rather than stay quiet. Building trust with owners pays off in possible team lead roles later! How Much Do Fruit Pickers Earn? Cash potential as a fruit picker isn’t too shabby! Most farms pay an hourly base rate anywhere from $15-$25 per hour depending on experience. The harder you work, the bigger your weekly check can be. Some orchards also offer productivity bonuses if your entire team hits daily picking goals. And since it’s based on volume harvested, quicker pickers can score some extra cash. So work efficiently but safely! Ready to pick fruit for a living and be outside instead of a boring office? Reach out to local farms and orchards now to join 2024’s upcoming harvests! You can apply or reach out to them through this email. cv.hr@monaghan-mushrooms.com Contact them through Calls at 905-878-9375 extension 5213 Between 09:00 AM and 03:00 PM If you want to see them in their office, here is their address. 7345 Guelph Line PO Box 58 Campbellville, ON L0P 1B0 Remember bringing energy and a team player attitude lands the jobs easiest.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FISH’s FOOD PANTRIES WORKING WITH AMPLEHARVEST.ORG AND LOCAL GARDENERS TO REDUCE HUNGER AND FOOD WASTE IN CENTRAL WASHINGTON Ellensburg, Washington - July 26, 2024 FISH Community Food Pantries are pleased to announce a partnership with AmpleHarvest.org – a nationwide network working to end hunger and fresh food waste by enabling food pantries to connect with local backyard/community gardeners who will share their surplus garden bounty with their neighbors in need. One out of six American families rely on food pantries to help feed themselves and their families. It is often a challenge for pantries to keep up with the demand and especially difficult to offer fresh produce. At the same time, tens of millions of gardeners across America often find that their gardens provide far more produce than they can use or share with friends. The rest is often lost to waste. By becoming part of AmpleHarvest, FISH’s Food Pantries will become an available resource to accept and distribute excess fresh food from backyard and community gardeners throughout the region. According to AmpleHarvest founder and CNN Hero, Gary Oppenheimer, “Years back, my own garden grew more produce than we could use, and our community garden also left excess produce to rot on the vines. An organization such as AmpleHarvest was desperately needed. Today, a quarter of all food pantries in 4100 communities across America can receive fresh food.” FISH welcomes fresh produce donations for its customers. FISH CEO, Peggy Morache, commented on the new partnership, “This is another step in FISH’s mission to mitigate nutrition insecurity as well as food insecurity in Central Washington. Our customers receive the benefit of the generous gardening community, and we are all benefit by working together to stop food waste.” FISH has been a community strengthening partner and the food resource for anyone in need in Kittitas County, Washington for more than 50 years. Information about shelf-stable foods needed by FISH’s pantries will be also posted periodically on the AmpleHarvest site to encourage donations by anyone wanting to help. More information about FISH can be found at www.kvfish.org. AmpleHarvest .org (www.AmpleHarvest.org) is a nationwide 501(c)3 hunger/food waste program, partnered with or supported by Google, the USDA, National Gardening Association, Feeding America and most of America’s food banks. AmpleHarvest encourages and empowers millions of growers across America to share their surplus produce with a local food pantry, using food that is already available to feed the nation.

Hi everybody ! This season has been very enriching for me. I worked as a « chef de culture » on a 2,2ha strawberry production site under greenhouses, the boss was hardly ever here and I had to make decisions on a day-to-day basis. Regarding crop: I learnt a lot about climate control in greenhouses over the seasons, but also about the energy balance required by the different varieties. From collecting data, to analyzing them, then making decisions based on what I saw, it was a great experience to be the decision maker. I also gained skills and knowledge on IPM of strawberries with preventive strategies and constant crop monitoring. Management: During my studies I had management courses but these are only theoretical. This year was my first on site manager experience with up to 30 people (mainly speaking in other languages) to manage on a daily basis. I was always trying to find things to do depending on the state of the crop and the work priorities. Quality and Production: I was in charge of quality control and always in contact with the « cooperative » where we sold the berries. It was sometimes difficult to keep an eye on each cart of pickers, and explain how to do it to people who did not speak my language. But I made my best and the results were there. I had to take everything I had learned before and put it into practice, some days were better than others, but every problems I encountered was an opportunity to learn and gain skills. Unfortunately, the working conditions were not there and I did not share the same values as my boss. So I decided to resign for my well-being, it is a bit sad because I had dreamed of this position for a while and I tried to change things to make the production site more professional and more profitable. But at some point I became tired of this work atmosphere and started being unhappy in my life. This means that I am open to new opportunities in the strawberry industry worldwide. I want to continue in this field, because I’ve seen what I have done and I would love to work for a company that shares my values. And continue to put into practice the skills and knowledge I have acquired in my previous experiences. Do not hesitate to contact me to discuss or if you want to know more about me. #strawberry #opentowork 🍓🍓🍓

Here are three ways to tackle food security in our communities. Addressing food #security through garden projects is a critical endeavor in the face of global food fragility. It's not merely about the availability of fresh produce. But about access and #sustainability in #food production and #distribution. While some may take food availability for granted. The reality underscores the fine line between security and insecurity. Garden clubs To combat food insecurity, efforts are required at all levels of society, from governmental initiatives to community-driven actions. Community garden #clubs emerge as powerful instruments in this battle. That leverages on #cooperation and #collaboration to bolster food production and security. Urban spaces. In urban environments, even the most unlikely spaces hold potential for productive gardens with the right approach. From street-side verges to rooftop gardens, these spaces can be transformed into valuable resources, fostering local food production and community cohesion. Knowledge sharing Moreover, knowledge sharing within gardening communities plays a vital role in enhancing food security. While individual gardeners often work independently, community support fosters the dissemination of essential skills and knowledge, thereby empowering more people to participate in food production. These collaborative efforts not only bolster food security but also foster #resilience within communities by equipping individuals with the skills and resources needed for sustainable food production. #DigitalTransformation #Industry40 #SkillDevelopment #SustainablePM #ProjectManagement #PMO #Agile #ProjectManager #PMOTrends #Leadership #ProjectPlanning #PMI #ProjectSuccess #TeamManagement #BusinessAnalysis #ChangeManagement #StrategicPlanning #RiskManagement #PMCommunity #PMP #ProjectDelivery #ProjectLeadership #DigitalTransformation #prince2 #businesswriting #sustainability #sustainablebusiness #futureready #stakeholderengagement
