During the harvest, workers are encouraged to listen to music and are sheltered from various weather conditions. These are just a few examples of the many amenities we offer to our staff.
«Hay una muy buena comunicación, te respetan y te dan tu lugar, te apoyan y la verdad de que te toman mucho en cuenta. Si tú aportas ellos te dan mucha confianza y te puedo decir que es un trabajo en equipo.»

PostulerFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What do you do in winter?
We spend our time working on new projects, recruiting, and preparing machinery, housing, and other equipment for the busy season.
Although our fruit production runs mainly from June to October, we work 12 months a year to ensure we are well-prepared for this critical period! We also enjoy diversifying our activities. Over the years, we’ve developed several partnerships with local companies and become involved in plant production, berry distribution, and processing.
What are your recruitment periods?
We recruit year-round based on the group’s needs to support our growth. However, spring is the main hiring period for local workers as the production season approaches. In winter, we begin recruiting foreign workers, as this process takes several months.
