Seasonal Apple Farm & Orchard Jobs
We are one of Sweden’s leading apple and cider producer since 1888, we believe that every apple carries with it a story of care, patience, and dedication. Each year, as the apple trees in our scenic orchards bloom and bear fruit, we welcome new team members to help us harvest and nurture the very heart of our business.
For the upcoming harvest season, we are opening opportunities for seasonal workers from Africa to join our orchards in Kivik, located in the beautiful Österlen region of southern Sweden. These roles provide not only a chance to earn but also an opportunity to experience Swedish culture, work outdoors in nature, and become part of a historic family-owned company.
About the Work
Our apple orchards span hundreds of hectares, with more than 70 varieties of apples grown for juice, cider, jam, and other fruit products. Seasonal workers play a vital role in making the harvest a success. From planting young saplings to carefully hand-picking ripe fruit, every job contributes to the quality we are known for.
These positions are hands-on manual roles, requiring physical activity, teamwork, and responsibility. You will work alongside experienced Swedish farm workers and fellow international recruits in a friendly, multicultural environment.
