INTRODUCTION
Work duties will include primarily pears and apples. Other duties may include apple blossom thinning, tree training, fire blight cutting and removal, general farm clean-up, and other duties customarily performed by a commercially viable agribusiness.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
APPLE/PEAR PICKING: Worker will hand harvest fruit. Worker will attach harness, bucket or bag and pick low hanging fruit while standing on the ground and in higher branches while standing on a ladder up to 12 ft. Worker will pick according to grade, color and size by grasping fruit with the hands and removing from the tree in a motion so as not to harm adjacent buds on the tree branches. For some varieties, stem clippers must also be used to remove a portion of the stem. Care must be taken with clippers to not damage the fruit while clipping off a portion of the stem. Worker will carry harness, bucket or bag of up 60 lbs. and will place fruit in wooden or plastic bins, 4x4x3 which hold approximately 25 bushels of fruit. Care must be exercised at all times to prevent bruising of fruit or breaking of branches. Some workers may be required to examine harvested fruit in bins and sort out any fruit not meeting the grade, color and size specifications.

A bad bin mark occurs when a bin is inspected and a significant number of culls, bruised or damaged are found by the supervisors.
- Farm clean up tasks include picking up garbage around the orchard, removing old string and wire from trellis and orchard blocks, and other farm labor tasks.
- Safely sets and use of ladders. Much of the picking will be done from an aluminum ladder up to 12 feet in height.
