Fruit pickers


New Zealand has alot of people from other countries, especially from Fiji and the Pacific Islands who spend a few months here and there helping to pick fruit at different orchards. In Kerikeri there are orange orchards and avocado orchards just to name 2 and the money the people earn is quite often sent home to their families.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday and Tom's Signs.

This does remind me of migrant workers or OFW's from the Philippines. It is hard labor but the pay is ok, I heard.
