Seasonal Employment
Honest work in organic orchards, unforgettable memories in between.
Bay of Plenty. New Zealand
Where seasonal work becomes a shared adventure
Spend your season in New Zealand’s organic kiwifruit orchards, working hard, learning new skills, and becoming part of a community that feels like family. Meet travellers from Italy to Canada to Belgium and beyond and build friendships you’ll carry long after the season has finished. With a crew that laughs together, helps each other, and celebrates the small wins, your working‑holiday becomes something bigger: a season that shapes you. Be welcomed into a community built on trust, support, and shared stories.
Make your New Zealand working experience unforgettable.

Where to start
I wanted to thank you once again for these 6 months, which have been fantastic. I learned so many things, starting with English, and met so many people. From my Italian gang, to Canadians, Belgians, Germans ... And far too many French expats
I know I'll stay in touch with many of them, forever linked by the Cultivate adventure and these kiwis .
I wanted to thank all the supervisors. Diane and the stories that are close to her heart, Duncan and Peter, one with us in the rows listening to metal, the other on his lawnmower full of techno in his ears, but both always ready to help, a big smile on his face.
And then there's Kelsey, a real ray of sunshine, with her heart in her hand, who makes you want to work, and who has made this adventure so endearing.
And then there's Boss Adam, a great boss who allows us to live in his Farm and form a community . I'd like to thank you for having placed so much trust in me and for putting up with me during the more difficult times (I'm not planning to go back to acupuncture any time soon).
Many words to say thank you for having participated and embellished my dream of living in New Zealand.

Cultivate onsite camping.
We are pleased to offer our staff accommodation on the farm whilst working with us. We believe Morton Road Camp is a beautiful setting and as we work on orchards in the area, staying onsite is a great opportunity for staff to save commute time, fuel expenses, create friendships and have an enjoyable and high standard of living experience when working with us.
