What the work involves

Picking crops on a farm involves a variety of daily duties that can vary depending on the type of crops and the specific needs of the plants. Therefore, daily individual work assignments and work locations will be made by and at the discretion of the farm manager or supervisor. Beneficiaries must prepare for each day by checking tools and equipment. This will ensure harvesting tools such as baskets, crates, knives, shears, and gloves are clean and ready. They will inspect fields by walking through them to assess which crops are ready for harvest based on their growth stage, color, size, and other ripeness indicators. Beneficiaries will then begin harvesting for the day. First, they must pick the ripe crops by identifying and harvesting crops that have reached peak ripeness to ensure optimal quality and taste. They must use proper techniques to avoid damaging the plants and the produce. This process is completed by following crop-specific guidelines. The guidelines will specify harvesting techniques for different crops (e.g., cutting, pulling, picking by hand, or using mechanical harvesters). Harvesting techniques will be at the discretion of the farm manager or supervisor. Beneficiaries will sort and clean crops. Sorting crops includes separating them by size, quality, and type to meet market or processing requirements and discarding any damaged or diseased produce as specified by the farm manager or supervisor. Cleaning the crops involves removing dirt, debris, and any unwanted parts (e.g., stems, leaves) through washing or brushing. Other duties related to harvesting crops may be required, such as meeting industry standards.
