| At Wood Berry Farm we could not possibly harvest our fruit without excellent fruit pickers. Each year the farm employs a team of international student seasonal workers, who spend their summer vacations gaining experience and helping us to harvest and pack the fruit. We may have as many as five nationalities on site at any one time. Students at Wood Farm live in fully equipped self-catering mobile homes. The facilities include, television, bicycles, barbecue facilities. Visits can be made to the local area as required. If you would like to work at Wood Farm please realise that work cannot be guaranteed and that you will be employed only as a seasonal casual worker.
