BLUEBERRY HARVEST

Welcome to a harvest where the sky’s the limit

The Australian blueberry industry comprises a large number of farmers, from the smallest growers to large, multi-site agribusinesses, based right across Australia.

A role in the Australian blueberry harvest is a busy one, but can also be highly productive – with pay directly tied to your productivity. The harvest itself can be intense, as there’s a need for the blueberries to be picked as quickly as possible whilst maintaining a high standard of quality. However, it’s highly rewarding work, and candidates report feeling a huge sense of achievement at the end of the season.
