Agriculture works in peaks. At harvest time many hands are needed at once, outside the season only a few.

The harvest itself needs little language. Our standard is still German at A2 or higher with a recognised certificate. Animal husbandry and horticulture offer year-round posts, and there the demands rise.

Accommodation on the farm is usual and a strong argument. Please describe the fittings, the cost and the occupancy precisely.

For candidates it is important to judge the period realistically.

Typical requirements

  • Physical stamina for work in the open air
  • German at level A2 or higher with a recognised certificate
  • Experience in harvest, horticulture or animal husbandry is an advantage
  • Readiness for seasonal work with long days
  • A tractor licence is an advantage

Typical working conditions

  • Seasonal harvest contracts or year-round posts
  • Working hours follow the weather and the ripening
  • Instruction by the foreman or the farm manager
