Job details
Full job description
Join Heartland Agriculture as our next Harvest Hand in Bakersfield.
About Heartland Agriculture
Heartland Agriculture is a regional agriculture and produce operations business serving Northern California since 2006. We operate 5 locations and have built a reputation for consistent quality and dependable teams.
About the role
You'll work the harvest season crunch: picking, sorting, and packing crops, loading trucks and wagons, and keeping product moving from field to storage while quality holds. You'll work long days when the weather window is open, follow food-handling and grading standards, and pitch in on whatever the harvest needs, from equipment cleanup to bin monitoring. It's demanding seasonal work with a clear finish line.
What you will bring
You're fit, quick with your hands, and ready to commit to the full harvest run, including weekends and long days when conditions demand it. No experience necessary; you'll be trained on sorting standards. Stamina, reliability, and a team attitude carry this job.
Apply today and we will be in touch. Eligibility for US work authorisation is required at offer stage.
Required Qualifications
- Ability to sustain fast-paced physical work through long harvest days
- Availability for the full harvest season, including weekends
- Willingness to follow food-handling and quality-grading standards
- Eligibility to work in Canada
Benefits
- Overtime pay during peak harvest weeks
- End-of-season completion bonus on multi-week contracts
- Three meals provided during shifts on participating farms
- Free or subsidised on-site housing during peak season
