Agri Labour Australia is delighted to partner with the Granite Belt Growers Association, where local and regional farmers come together to cultivate fresh produce in one of Australia’s most picturesque and diverse farming regions.

 

Nestled in southern Queensland, the Granite Belt’s cool, subtropical highland climate offers the perfect conditions for growing a wide variety of summer crops. With a diverse range of harvests including apples, strawberries, tomatoes, vegetables and stone fruit, the Granite Belt is a backpacker’s paradise for farm work, with rolling vineyards, fresh vegetable fields and hydroponic farms all set against the stunning backdrop of this unique highland region.

The available roles

This summer, Agri Labour Australia is teaming up with the Granite Belt Growers Association to recruit enthusiastic farm workers for the busy harvest season from November to April. If you’re keen to get your hands dirty and experience life on the farm, this is your chance to join a vibrant community of like-minded adventurers.

Duties include:

  • Picking fresh produce straight from the source
  • Packing fruit and vegetables for market
  • Pruning and shaping fruit trees
  • Trellising grapevines and crops
  • Thinning fruit to ensure quality
  • Irrigation set-up and maintenance
  • Spray application for plant care

What to expect

If you’re looking for a hands-on experience that lets you connect with nature, learn new skills and make unforgettable memories, join Agri Labour Australia on the Granite Belt this summer. Your next great adventure is just around the corner!
